Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Linkage isomerism arises in coordination compounds containing ambidentate ligand. |
| Reason (R): | Ambidentate ligand has two different donor atoms. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | (A) is false but (R) is true. |
Linkage isomerism arises in coordination compounds containing ambidentate ligands because ambidentate ligand has two different donor atoms. e.g., SCN, NO etc.
The example of linkage isomerism is as follows:
[(NH3)5Co-SCN]2+ and [(NH3)5Co-NCS]2+
Hence, option 1 is the answer.
