Oxidation state of Fe in ferrocene is

A

`0`

B

`+3`

C

`+2`

D

`+1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The oxidation number assigned does not necessarily relate to the actual charge on the metal. The convention used is that the organic moiety `(C_(5)H_(5))` is usually assigned a charge of -1 In ferrocence, `(eta^(5)-C_(5)H_(5))` Fe, iron has an oxidation state of `+2`.
