In metal carbonyl having and genral formula `M(CO)_(x)`, where, M = metal, x = 4 and the metal is bonded to

A

carbon and oxygen

B

oxygen

C

carbon

D

`C -= O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In metal carbonyls such as `[M(CO)_(x)]`, the metal is bonded to the carbony1 ligand (CO) through C atom. The metal-carbon bond in metal carbonyls possesses both `sigma` and `pi` character.

In metal carbonyls, there is synergic bonding interaction between metal and carbon monoxide. This leads to increase in strength of metal ligands bond and decrease in bond order of CO in carbonyl complex as compared to bond order in carbon monoxide.
