NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes Assertion Reason Question
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.
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Correct Answer
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.
