Iron carbonyl, Fe(CO)5 is

Question

Iron carbonyl, Fe(CO)5 is (A) trinuclear (B) mononuclear (C) tetranuclear (D) dinuclear

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Based on the number of metal atoms present in a complex, they are classified into mononuclear, dinuclear, trinuclear and so on. e.g., Fe(CO)5: monondear Co2(CO)8: dinuclear Fe3(CO)12: trinuclear

Q. Iron carbonyl, $F e (CO)_{5}$ is

trinuclear

dinuclear

Based on the number of metal atoms present in a complex, they are classified into mononuclear, dinuclear, trinuclear and so on.
e.g., $F e (CO)_{5}$ : monondear
$C o_{2} (CO)_{8}$ : dinuclear
$F e_{3} (CO)_{12}$ : trinuclear
