Given:
The given complex is .
To find:
We have to find the number of metal-metal bonds.
Solution:
The complex is
The valance electron of Co is 9 and the valance electrons of CO are 2.
Thus total valance electrons of the complex are given as-
2×9+8×2=34.
According to the 18 electron rule, a total number of electrons is given as 18×2=36.
So, the number of metal-metal bonds will be-
Thus 1 metal-metal bond is present in .
