Question
The EAN of metal atoms in [Fe(CO)2(NO+)2] and Co2(CO)8 respectively are :
Options
A.34, 35
B.34, 36
C.36, 36
D.36, 35
Solution
Oxidation state of iron in [Fe-2(CO0)2(NO+)2] = x + 2(0) + 2 = 0 ; x = -2
So EAN = 28 + 8 = 36
Oxidation state of cobalt in Co2(CO)8 = 2x + 8 (-0) = or x = 0
So EAN = 27 + 1 + 8 = 36.
So EAN = 28 + 8 = 36
Oxidation state of cobalt in Co2(CO)8 = 2x + 8 (-0) = or x = 0
So EAN = 27 + 1 + 8 = 36.
