Considering both geometrical and linkage isomerism (octahedral, no optical isomers here), the total number of isomers of [Co(NHX3)X4(NOX2)Cl]X+ in which NOX2X− may bind through N or O is
A2
B4
C8
D6
Answer: B
The complex is MaX4bc with 2 geometrical forms (cis and trans, neither chiral). Each form has 2 linkage options (nitro or nitrito). Total =2×2=4.
