    Among the following metal carbonyls the \[C-O\] bonds order is lowest in

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

    B)  \[[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\]

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

    D)  \[{{[V{{(CO)}_{6}}]}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Greater the extent of \[d\pi -P\pi \]back bonding smaller will be the bond order of \[CO\]bond in metal carbonyls. In \[Fe{{(CO)}_{3}}\] there is maximum number of valence shell electrons (d-electrons), greatest chances of \[P\pi -d\pi \]back bonding, lowest bond order of \[CO\]bond.
