Explanation:
ANSWER
Option (C) is correct.
[Co(CO)
5
NH
3
]
+2
is σ and π bonded.
In this organometallic compound,bond between cobalt and CO ligands have both σ and π character.σ- bond formation between metal and carbon of CO takes place by overlap of filled bonding π
2p
of CO with an empty metal d- orbital.
The 2nd overlap takes place between metal d- orbital with an empty antibonding pi orbital of the CO resulting in additional π- bond between the metal and same CO molecule.
