BONDING IN METAL CARBONYLS

The figure represents the synergic bonding interaction in metal carbonyl complex. On the basis of the explain the following: (i) Strength of Metal-ligand bond (ii) Bond order of CO in carbonyl complex as compared to bond order in carbon monoxide.

Assertion: Oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)_(5) is zero. Reason: Synergic bonding takes place in this metal carbonyl complex.

Assertion: Oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)_(5) is zero. Reason: Synergic bonding takes place in this metal carbonyl complex.

Assertion : C - O bond in metal carbonyl is long. Reason : There is delocalisation of electrons from filled d orbitals into the empty orbitals on the CO ligands.

In metal carbonyl (organometallic ) complexes , the M -C bond is
