is ____.
N2O3, N2O5, P4O6, P4O7, H4P2O5, H5P3O10, H2S2O3, H2S2O5
    Correct answer is '6'. Can you explain this answer?

    Sushant Verma answered
    Counting Compounds with Bridging Oxo Groups
    - N2O3: This compound has one bridging oxo group.
    - N2O5: This compound has one bridging oxo group.
    - P4O6: This compound has one bridging oxo group.
    - P4O7: This compound has one bridging oxo group.
    - H4P2O5: This compound has two bridging oxo groups.
    - H5P3O10: This compound has three bridging oxo groups.
    - H2S2O3: This compound has one bridging oxo group.
    - H2S2O5: This compound has one bridging oxo group.
    Therefore, out of the given compounds, a total of 6 compounds have at least one bridging oxo group.

    The correct statement(s) regarding the binary transition metal carbonyl compounds is (are)
    (Atomic numbers: Fe = 26, Ni = 28)
    • a)
      Total number of valence shell electrons at metal centre in Fe(CO)5 or Ni(CO)4 is 16
    • b)
      These are predominantly low spin in nature
    • c)
      Metal–carbon bond strengthens when the oxidation state of the metal is lowered
    • d)
      The carbonyl C−O bond weakens when the oxidation state of the metal is increased
    Correct answer is option 'B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Bhavya Joshi answered
    (a) Electronic configuration of central metal atom in both cases is [Ar] 3d104s24p6 (8 electrons in
    outermost shell and 18 valence electrons respectively).
    (b) Low spin complex because CO is a strong field ligand.
    (c) Metal-carbon bond strengthens when the oxidation state of metal is lowered.
    (d) The carbonyl C – O bond becomes stronger when the oxidation state is increased.
