The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The compound $[Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2]Cl$ exhibits linkage, ionisation and geometrical isomerism.

Hence,

(i) its linkage isomers are

$[Co (NH_3)_4 (NO_2)_2 ] Cl and [Co(NH_3)_4 (ONO)_2 ]Cl$

(ii) its ionisation isomers are

$[Co (NH_3)_4(NO_2)Cl]NO_2 and [Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)_2 ]Cl$

(iii) its geometrical isomers are

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
