NEET Chemistry Isomerism in Complexes MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about isomerism in coordination compounds is correct?
Linkage isomerism occurs when an ambidentate ligand can bind through different atoms.
Facial isomers are formed when three donor atoms of the same ligand occupy opposite corners of an octahedron.
Optical isomerism is only possible in tetrahedral complexes with two identical unidentate ligands.
Coordination isomerism involves a change in the oxidation state of the central metal ion.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Linkage isomerism arises in coordination compounds containing ambidentate ligands, such as thiocyanate, which can bind through different atoms (NCERT context).
