Among the following metal carbonyls, the C-O bond order is lowest in

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

(A) Mn+=3d54s1;in presence of CO, effective configuration=3d64s0.
Three lone pair for back bonding with vacant orbital of C in CO.
(B)Fe0=3d64s2;in presence of CO, effective configuration=3d8.
Four lone pair for back bonding with CO.
(C)Cr0=3d54s1;effective configuration=3d6.
Three lone pair for back bonding with CO.
(D)V-=3d44s2;effective configuration=3d6.
Three lone pair for back bonding with CO.
Maximum back bonding is present inFe(CO)5​therefore, CO bond order is lowest here.
