Question

predict the hybridization of the central metal ion in [Fe(Co)4]²‐ assuming it as low spin complex ​

Answer 1

[Fe(CO)4] ²−

As we know CO is a neutral ligan_d. Therefore Fe has a +2 oxidation state. Electronic configuration of Fe +2

in the presence of strong field ligan_d is as follows:

d ² sp ³
