    Among the following metal carbonyls, the C-0 bond order is lowest in

    A) \[{{[Mn{{(CO)}_{6}}]}^{+}}\]

    B) \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\]

    C) \[[Cr{{(CO)}_{6}}]\]                 

    D) \[{{[V{{(CO)}_{6}}]}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]
    (1) \[M{{n}^{+}}=3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{1}}.\] In presence of \[CO,\]effective configuration is \[3{{d}^{6}}4{{s}^{0}}.\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] 3 lone pairs for back bonding with vacant orbital of C in CO.
    (2) \[F{{e}^{0}}=3{{d}^{6}}4{{s}^{2}}\]. In the presence of \[CO\], effective configuration is\[3{{d}^{6}}\].
    \[\Rightarrow \] 4 lone pairs for back bonding with CO.
    (3) \[C{{r}^{0}}=3{{d}^{5}}4{{s}^{1}}\]. In the presence of CO, effective configuration is \[3{{d}^{6}}.\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] 3 lone pairs for back bonding with CO.
    (4) \[{{V}^{-}}=3{{d}^{4}}4{{s}^{2}}.\] In the presence of CO. effective configuration is \[3{{d}^{6}}.\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] 3 lone pairs for back bonding with CO.
    These maximum back bonding in \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\], therefore CO bond order is lowest
