Chapter 19, Problem 41E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ligand/scapable of linkage isomerism needs to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

A metal complex can be shownas ${\text{[ML}}_{\text{n}}\text{]}$ . Here M indicates the metal atom or ion whereas L indicates the ligands which are present in ‘n’ numbers. The coordination number defines the number of coordinate bonds between metal and ligand.

Structural Isomers can be defined as the coordination complexes or molecules which have same formula due to same ligands or atoms yet they show different properties due to different bonding between atoms and groups.
