उत्तर
The oxidation state of Fe in [Fe(CO)5] is 0.
Explanation:
The oxidation state of the carbonyl group (CO) is zero.
Let, the oxidation state of Fe be ‘x’
`\implies` x + 5(0) = 0
`\implies` x + 0 = 0
`\implies` x = 0
Thus, the oxidation state of Fe in [Fe(CO)5] is 0.

Why do interstitial compounds have higher melting points than corresponding pure metals?
Account for the following:
Cr2+ is a strong reducing agent.
The elements of 3d transition series are given as: Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co
Answer the following: Write the element which shows maximum number of oxidation states. Give reason.
Which is a stronger reducing agent, Cr2+ or Fe2+ and why?
For M2+/M and M3+/M2+ systems, the E° values for some metals are as follows:
| Cr2+/Cr | −0.9 V |
| Mn2+/Mn | −1.2 V |
| Fe2+/Fe | −0.4 V |
| Cr3/Cr2+ | −0.4 V |
| Mn3+/Mn2+ | +1.5 V |
| Fe3+/Fe2+ | +0.8 V |
Use this data to comment upon:
- The stability of Fe3+ in acid solution as compared to that of Cr3+ or Mn3+ and
- the ease with which iron can be oxidised as compared to a similar process for either chromium or manganese metal.
Give reasons: Sc3+ is colourless in aqueous solution whereas Ti3+ is coloured.
Account for the following :
Ti4+ is colourless whereas V4+ is coloured in an aqueous solutions.
The halides of transition elements become more covalent with increasing oxidation state of the metal. Why?
Assertion: Separation of \[\ce{Zr}\] and \[\ce{Hf}\] is difficult.
Reason: Because \[\ce{Zr}\] and \[\ce{Hf}\] lie in the same group of the periodic table.
