The correct statement(s) regarding the binary transition metal carbonyl compounds is (are)
(Atomic numbers : Fe = 26, Ni = 28)
(A) Total number of valence shell electrons at metal centre in Fe(CO)5 or Ni(CO)4 is 16
(B) These are predominantly low spin in nature
(C) Metal - carbon bond strengthens when the oxidation state of the metal is lowered
(D) The carbonyl C–O bond weakens when the oxidation state of the metal is increased

Answer:(B,C)
Solution:

(A) [Fe(CO5)] & [Ni(CO)4] complexes have 18-electrons in their valence shell.
(B) Carbonyl complexes are predominantly low spin complexes due to strong ligand field.
(C) As electron density increases on metals (with lowering oxidation state on metals), the extent of synergic bonding increases. Hence M–C bond strength increases
(D) While positive charge on metals increases and the extent of synergic bond decreases and hence C–O bond becomes stronger.

What are the characteristics of the transition elements and why are they called transition elements?

Transition elements are those elements in which the atoms or ions (in stable oxidation state) contain partially filled d-orbital. These elements lie in the d-block and show a transition of...

In what way is the electronic configuration of the transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements?

Transition metals have a partially filled d−orbital. Therefore, the electronic configuration of transition elements is (n − 1)d1-10 ns0-2. The non-transition elements either do not have a d−orbital or have a...

What are inner transition elements? Decide which of the following atomic numbers are the atomic numbers of the inner transition elements:

Inner transition metals are those elements in which the last electron enters the f-orbital. The elements in which the 4f and the 5f orbitals are progressively filled are called f-block...

Why should the metal sulphides and carbonates be converted to metal oxides in the process of extraction of metal from them?

It is easier to obtain metal from its oxide, as compared from its sulphides and carbonates. So prior to reduction, sulphide ores are converted into oxides by roasting and carbonate...

How is the variability of oxidation states of the transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements?

i. The variability in oxidation states of transition metals is due to the incomplete filling of d-orbitals in such a way that their oxidation states differ from each other by...

Decide which of the following atomic numbers are the atomic numbers of the inner transition elements: 29, 59, 74, 95, 102, 104.

Inner transition elements have atomic numbers from 58 to 71 and 90 to 103. Hence, the atomic numbers 59, 95 and 102 are the atomic numbers of the inner transition...
