The coordination geometry around the manganese in decacarbonyldimanganese
Options
- AOctahedral
- BTrigonal bipyramidal
- CSquare pyramidal
- DSquare planar
Correct answer
A. Octahedral
Step-by-step solution
Around the manganese atom, there are five ligands and one Mn occupying octahedron vertices. For octahedral geometry, the more appropriate hybridization is that produces six hybrid orbitals pointing towards and .
The octahedral shape of molecules is the shape of molecules where six atoms or ligands or groups of atoms are arranged in a systematic way around a central dogma or atom. The Octahedral Shape of Molecules molecules has eight faces.
