The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the complex `[Co(NH₃)₄(NO₂)₂]Cl` and determine the types of isomerism it exhibits, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Complex:** - The complex is `[Co(NH₃)₄(NO₂)₂]Cl`. - It contains cobalt (Co) as the central metal ion, four ammonia (NH₃) ligands, two nitrite (NO₂) ligands, and one chloride (Cl) ion. 2. **Determine the Type of Ligands:** - Ammonia (NH₃) is a neutral ligand. - Nitrite (NO₂) can act as a bidentate ligand, meaning it can bond through either nitrogen (N) or oxygen (O), leading to potential linkage isomerism. - Chloride (Cl) is an anionic ligand. 3. **Linkage Isomerism:** - Since the nitrite ion (NO₂) can coordinate through either the nitrogen atom or the oxygen atom, this complex can exhibit linkage isomerism. - The two forms would be: - One where NO₂ is bonded through nitrogen (N). - Another where NO₂ is bonded through oxygen (O). 4. **Ionization Isomerism:** - Ionization isomerism occurs when the anionic part of the complex can be exchanged with another ion in solution. - In this case, the chloride ion (Cl⁻) can be exchanged with one of the nitrite ions (NO₂⁻), leading to different ionization forms: - One form where Cl is outside the coordination sphere and NO₂ is inside. - Another form where NO₂ is outside and Cl is inside. 5. **Geometrical Isomerism:** - The complex can also exhibit geometrical isomerism due to the arrangement of the ligands around the cobalt ion. - With two nitrite ligands, the complex can have: - A **cis** isomer where the two NO₂ groups are adjacent to each other. - A **trans** isomer where the two NO₂ groups are opposite each other. 6. **Optical Isomerism:** - Optical isomerism is not applicable here because the complex does not have a chiral center. The presence of two identical ligands (NH₃) and the symmetrical arrangement does not allow for non-superimposable mirror images. ### Conclusion: The complex `[Co(NH₃)₄(NO₂)₂]Cl` exhibits: - Linkage isomerism (due to NO₂). - Ionization isomerism (due to Cl⁻). - Geometrical isomerism (cis and trans forms). Thus, the answer is option C: linkage, ionization, and geometrical isomerism.
