Question
Which of the following statements about Fe(CO)5 is correct?
Options
A.It is paramagnetic and high spin complex
B.It is diamagnetic and high spin complex
C.It is diamagnetic and low spin complex
D.It is paramagnetic and low spin complex
Solution
In Fe(CO)5, Fe in zero oxidation state and CO is stronger field ligand. So,
Fe(CO)5
five dsp3 hybrid orbitals
Hence it is diamagnetic and low spin complex.
Fe(CO)5

five dsp3 hybrid orbitals
Hence it is diamagnetic and low spin complex.
