Nitrosyl ligand binds to d-metal atoms in linear and bent fashion and behaves, respectively, as
(a)$\mathrm{NO}^{+}$and $\mathrm{NO}^{+}$
(b)$\mathrm{NO}^{+}$and $\mathrm{NO}^{-}$
(d)$\mathrm{NO}^{-}$and $\mathrm{NO}^{+}$
(c)$\mathrm{NO}^{-}$and $\mathrm{NO}^{-}$
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
