Best answer

Correct option is (D) \([V (CO)_6]^{\ominus}\)

(A) \(\mathrm{Mn}^{+}=3 \mathrm{~d}^5 4 \mathrm{~s}^1;\) in presence of CO , effective configuration \(=3 \mathrm{~d}^6 4 \mathrm{~s}^0.\)

Three lone pair for back bonding with vacant orbital of C in CO .

(B) \(F e^0=3 d^6 4 s^2;\) in presence of CO, effective configuration \(=3 d^8\).

Four lone pair for back bonding with CO.

(C) \(C r^0=3 d^5 4 s^1;\) effective configuration \(=3 d^6.\)

Three lone pair for back bonding with CO.

(D) \(V^{-}=3 d^4 4 s^2;\) effective configuration \(=3 d^6\).

Three lone pair for back bonding with CO.

Maximum back bonding is present in \(F e(C O)_5\) therefore, CO bond order is lowest here.
