MCQ
$[Fe(NO_2)_3Cl_3]$ and $[Fe(ONO)_3Cl_3]$ shows
  • linkage isomerism
  • B
    geometrical isomerism
  • C
    optical isomerism
  • D
    none of the above

Answer

Correct option: A.
linkage isomerism
a
The given compound contains $-NO_2$ group which can donate electrons either from $O\,-$ or from $-\,N$. Thus , it shows linkage isomerism. Thus, the two given compounds are linkage isomers, one is nitrite $-\,O-N=O$ form and the other is nitro, (Figure) form.
