Chemistry-Isomerism in Complexes

NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): Linkage isomerism arises in coordination compounds containing ambidentate ligands. | Reason (R): Ambidentate ligands can bind to the central metal atom through different atoms, resulting in isomers with different ligand-metal bonds.

A

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

B

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

C

Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

D

Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Linkage isomerism occurs in coordination compounds with ambidentate ligands, which can attach through different atoms, creating isomers with varied ligand-metal bonds, as seen with thiocyanate ligands.
