    Directions : In the following question more than one of the answers given may be correct. Select the correct answer and mark it according to the code:

    Which of the following statements about \[{{[Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}NO]}^{2+}}\]are correct? (1) O.S. of Fe is +1 (2) C.N. of Fe is  6 (3) Charge on NO is +1 (4) O.S. of Fe is +2

    A)  1, 2 and 3 are correct

    B)  1 and 2 are correct

    C)   2 and 4 are correct

    D)  1 and 3 are correct

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In\[{{[Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}NO]}^{2+}},\] Number of monodentate ligands\[=5+1=6\] \[\therefore \]Coordination number = 6 The charge on NO is +1. Let the oxidation state of Fe in the complex is\[x\]. \[x+(0\times 5)+1=+2\] \[x=2-1=1\] \[\therefore \]Fe is present as\[F{{e}^{+}}\].
