The compound [Co(NO2)(NH3)5]Cl2 and [Co(ONO)(NH3)5]Cl2 are examples of:
Correct answer: B. Linkage isomers
- A. Geometrical isomers.
- B. Linkage isomers
- C. Ligand isomers.
- D. Ionisation isomers.
Explanation
The ligand NO2 has two types of linkage with the central atom. In NO2, N donates an electron pair, while in O NO the O atom donates the electron pair.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
