NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
Which type of isomerism arises from the binding of an ambidentate ligand through different atoms?
Linkage isomerism
Geometric isomerism
Optical isomerism
Coordination isomerism
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Linkage isomerism occurs when ambidentate ligands can attach to the central metal atom through different atoms, as seen with the thiocyanate ligand (NCS–) binding through nitrogen or sulfur.
