Question

Give oxidation state of Fe in $[Fe(Co)_{5}]$.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The given coordinate compound is a neutral complex.

CO is a neutral ligan.d,so charge on it will be 0 only.

Also,net charge on coordination sphere is 0.

So, oxidation state of iron is 0 itself

Answer 2

Explanation:

Therefore oxidation state of Fe in Fe(co)5 is 0.
