JEE Main Chemistry question

An electrovalent compound does not exhibit space (geometrical) isomerism due to:

(A)Presence of ions
(B)High melting point
(C)Strong electrostatic forces between constituent ions
(D)Non-directional nature of the electrovalent bondCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Space (geometrical) isomerism arises from the fixed spatial directionality of covalent bonds around a central atom. The ionic (electrovalent) bond, being a non-directional Coulombic
