The complex \([Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl\) exhibits linkage isomerism, ionization isomerism, and geometrical isomerism. Linkage isomerism arises from the possibility of different modes of bonding between the central metal ion \((Co)\) and the ligands (\(NH_3\) and \(NO_2\)). In this case, the \(NO_2\) ligand can bond to the \(Co\) ion through either the nitrogen atom \((N)\) or the oxygen atom \((O)\). This results in two linkage isomers: \([Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)(ONO)]Cl\) and \([Co(NH_3)_4(ONO)(NO_2)]Cl\) Ionization isomerism arises from the dissociation of the complex ion to form different ionic species. In this case, the \([Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl\) complex can ionize to form either \([Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)Cl]NO_2\) or \([Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl\). Geometrical isomerism arises from the different spatial arrangements of the ligands around the central metal ion. In this case, the \([Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl\) complex can exist in two geometrical isomers: \(cis-[Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl\) and \(trans-[Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl\) Therefore, the correct answer is 1. B, D and E only. |
