The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the complex `Fe(CO)_(5)`. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of Fe in `Fe(CO)_(5)`. - In the complex `Fe(CO)_(5)`, CO is a neutral ligand, meaning it does not contribute any charge. - The overall charge of the coordination complex is zero because there are no charges on the ligands. - Therefore, the oxidation state of Fe can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Oxidation state of Fe} + \text{Charge from ligands} = \text{Overall charge} \] \[ \text{Oxidation state of Fe} + 0 = 0 \] Thus, the oxidation state of Fe in `Fe(CO)_(5)` is 0. ### Step 2: Calculate the Effective Atomic Number (EAN) of Fe in `Fe(CO)_(5)`. - The formula for EAN is: \[ \text{EAN} = \text{Atomic number of metal} + (\text{Electron count of ligand} \times \text{Number of ligands}) + \text{Charge} \] - The atomic number of Fe is 26. - The electron count contributed by each CO ligand is 2, and there are 5 CO ligands. - Since the complex has no charge, we can substitute the values into the EAN formula: \[ \text{EAN} = 26 + (2 \times 5) + 0 \] \[ \text{EAN} = 26 + 10 + 0 = 36 \] ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1**: The oxidation state of Fe in `Fe(CO)_(5)` is 0. (True) - **Statement 2**: The EAN of Fe in this complex is 36. (True) However, while both statements are true, Statement 2 does not explain Statement 1. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Option 2: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1. ---
