    Zeise's salt is

    A)  \[[Fe{{({{C}_{5}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}]\]

    B)  \[[Pb{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}})}_{4}}]\]

    C)  \[K[PtC{{l}_{3}}({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}})]\]

    D) \[[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Zeise's salt is a complex of platinum and ethene.\[\text{PtC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}{{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}})}^{-}},\]in which the Pt coordinates to the Pi bond of the ethene. Hence, Zeise's salt is \[\text{K }\!\![\!\!\text{ PtC}{{\text{l}}_{\text{3}}}\text{(}{{\text{C}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{) }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }\text{.}\]
