NEET Chemistry Coordination Number Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A coordination compound containing an ambidentate ligand can exhibit linkage isomerism. | Reason (R): The metal-carbon bond in metal carbonyls possesses both sigma and pi character.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
While both statements are true, R does not explain A. Linkage isomerism is due to the ambidentate nature of ligands, not the bonding nature in metal carbonyls.
