(i) The IUPAC name of the compound [Cr(NO2)(NH3)5][ZnCl4] is pentaamminenitrito-N-chromium(III) tetrachlorozincate (II). Here N indicates that nitro group is attached to metal atom through N atom.
(ii) Geometrical isomerism is not possible in this compound.
(iii) Linkage isomerism is possible as nitro ligand is ambidentate ligand and has two donor atoms N and O.
(iv) It exhibits coordination isomers. The coordination isomers are [CrCl(NH3)5][ZnCl3(NO2)],[CrCl2(NH3)4][ZnCl2(NO2)NH3]and[Zn(NO2)(NH3)3][CrCl4(NH3)2].
