Chapter 23, Problem 23.62P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given ${\text{SCN}}^{\text{-}}\text{ ion}$ participate in linkage isomerism or not has to be explained with Lewis structure.

Concept introduction:

Linkage isomers:

Some ligands can bind to the metal ion through either of two donor atoms.

The composition of the complex ion is the same however the ligand donor atom is different.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given $S_2{O}_3^{2-}ion$ participate in linkage isomerism or not has to be explained with Lewis structure.

Concept introduction:

Linkage isomers: The composition of the complex ion is the same but the ligand donor atom is different.  Some ligands can bind to the metal ion through either of two donor atoms.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given ${\text{HS}}^{\text{-}}\text{ion}$ participate in linkage isomerism or not has to be explained with Lewis structure.

Concept introduction:

Linkage isomers: The composition of the complex ion is the same but the ligand donor atom is different.  Some ligands can bind to the metal ion through either of two donor atoms.
