39) Question Explanation: Determine which species has the longest C–O bond length
(compare Cr(CO)6, CO, and CO+).
Concept: This question is based on Metal–CO π-backbonding versus bond order trends.
Solution: In free CO, the C–O bond is short (~1.128 Å) due to its triple bond character. In
CO+, the bond order increases (around 3.5), shortening the bond further. In a metal carbonyl
like Cr(CO)6, strong π-backbonding from the metal into CO’s antibonding orbitals lowers the
bond order and weakens the C–O bond, making it longer. Therefore, ranking bond lengths
from longest to shortest gives: (C–O) in Cr(CO)6 is largest, then (C–O) in CO, and (C–O) in CO+
is shortest .
The correct order is (C–O)(Cr(CO)6) > (C–O) (CO) > (C–O) (CO+).

Solution: Fe2​(CO)9​ is a binuclear complex containing three bridging carbonyl groups (μ-CO)
and six terminal carbonyl groups (three on each Iron atom). The prefix 'μ-' is used to denote
bridging ligands. Since the molecule is symmetrical, we name the terminal ligands and metal
on one side, then the bridging ligands, followed by the terminal ligands and metal on the other
 side.
Total CO ligands = 9; Bridging CO (μ) = 3; Terminal CO per Fe = 3 and Oxidation state of Fe
=0
IUPAC Name: tricarbonyliron(0)-tri-μ-carbonyltricarbonyliron(0)

Explanation Question: Find the difference in EAN for given complex

Concept: This question is based on EAN value
Solution:

For the complex

EAN = 22 – 4 + 4 + 12 = 34
For the complex, [Cr(C6H6)2]
EAN = 24 – 0 + 12 = 36
∴ Difference in EAN = 36 – 34 = 2

Final Answer
The correct option is (1)

63) Let, . Then tr(A) = a + d

∴ tr(A2) = a2+ 2bc + d2

and (trA)2 = (a + d)2 = a2+ 2ad + d2
∴ tr(A2) ≠ (trA)2
