Identify neutral ligand from following?

Options

ACarbonyl
BSulphato
COxalato
DBromo

Correct answer

A. Carbonyl

Step-by-step solution

Neutral ligand identification A neutral ligand donates an electron pair without carrying net charge. Among the options: Carbonyl ( CO ) is neutral, as in Ni(CO)₄ or Fe(CO)₅ . Sulphato ( SO₄²⁻ ), oxalato ( C₂O₄²⁻ ), and bromo ( Br- ) are anionic. Only carbonyl qualifies as neutral. Final answer: A
