The difference between coordination of Co²⁺ with NO₂^- by an oxygen-cobalt bonding compared to a nitrogen-cobalt bonding results in ________. A)coordination isomers B)geometric isomers C)ionization isomers D)linkage isomers E)optical isomers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference in coordination between the two compounds is due to the different ligands attached to the central cobalt atom. Specifically, the oxygen-cobalt bonding in Co²⁺ results in a linkage isomer, while the nitrogen-cobalt bonding in NO₂^- results in a different linkage isomer. Therefore, the correct answer is D, linkage isomers.
