Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The metal carbon bond in metal carbonyls possesses both and character. Reason (R): The ligand to metal bond is a bond and metal to ligand bond is a bond. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- BBoth (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C(A) is correct but ( R ) is not correct.
- D(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct answer
C. (A) is correct but ( R ) is not correct.
Step-by-step solution
In case of metal carbonyls, the bonding has both ( ) and ( ) nature, where ligand to metal bond is ' ( ) ' (coordinate) bond and metal to ligand bond is ' ( ) ' (synergic) bond.
