Question

$$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}{{\left( {N{O_2}} \right)}_2}} \right]Cl$$      exhibits

A. linkage isomerism, geometrical isomerism and optical isomerism
B. linkage isomerism, ionisation isomerism and optical isomerism
C. linkage isomerism, ionisation isomerism and geometrical isomerism  
D. ionisation isomerism, geometrical isomerism and optical isomerism
Answer :   linkage isomerism, ionisation isomerism and geometrical isomerism
Solution :
The compound $$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}{{\left( {N{O_2}} \right)}_2}} \right]Cl$$      exhibits linkage, ionisation and geometrical isomerism.
Hence,
(i) its linkage isomers are $$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}{{\left( {N{O_2}} \right)}_2}} \right]Cl$$      and $$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}{{\left( {ON{O_2}} \right)}_2}} \right]Cl$$
(ii) its ionisation isomers are $$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}\left( {N{O_2}} \right)Cl} \right]N{O_2}$$      and $$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_4}{{\left( {N{O_2}} \right)}_2}} \right]Cl$$
(iii) its geometrical isomers are
