Identify the hybridization in central metal of $[\text{Fe}(\text{CO})_5]$ complex.

Question

In the following species, how many species have the same magnetic moment?
(i) Cr$^{2+}$
(ii) Mn$^{3+}$
(iii) Ni$^{2+}$
(iv) Sc$^{2+}$
(v) Zn$^{2+}$
(vi) V$^{3+}$
(vii) Ti$^{4+}$

Answer 1

Step 1: Count the ligands
Five ligands need five hybrid orbitals, which is $dsp^3$ (or $sp^3d$). The known structure is trigonal bipyramid. So option (A).

Final Answer:
Option (A). \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]

Identify the hybridization in central metal of \([\text{Fe}(\text{CO})_5]\) complex.
