NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes MCQ Question
Which combination of statements correctly describes types of isomerism in coordination compounds?
Geometrical isomerism can occur in octahedral complexes with facial and meridional forms; linkage isomerism involves ambidentate ligands.
Optical isomerism is a type of structural isomerism; linkage isomerism does not involve different arrangements of ligand atoms.
Stereoisomerism can include both geometrical and optical isomerism; structural isomerism cannot occur in coordination compounds.
Facial isomers have donor atoms of the same ligands occupying opposite corners of an octahedron; linkage isomerism is exclusive to unidentate ligands.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A correctly identifies that geometrical isomerism occurs in octahedral complexes with facial and meridional forms, and linkage isomerism involves ambidentate ligands. Other statements contain inaccuracies regarding the definitions of isomerism types.
