  • question_answer
                In which of the following compounds transition metal has zero oxidation state?                   

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

    B)              \[N{{H}_{2}}.N{{H}_{2}}\]                       

    C)                    \[NOCl{{O}_{4}}\] 

    D)             \[Cr{{O}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Oxidation state of Fe in \[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}\] is zero because CO is neutral ligand and it shows zero oxidation state.             In metal carbonyls, oxidation state of metal is always zero.
