Solution
The correct option is
D
5
The effective atomic number :
E
A
N
=
Z
−
X
+
Y
Z
=
atomic number of iron which is
26
.
X
=
number of electrons lost during formation of metal ion from its atom which is 0.
Y
=
number of electrons donated by the ligands which is
2
x
as there are
x
C
O
ligands and each one donates 2 electrons.
E
A
N
=
26
−
0
+
2
x
=
36
2
x
=
10
x
=
5
Thus, the metal carbonyl is
F
e
(
C
O
)
5
.
Hence, the correct option is D.
