Correct answer: 0

  1. Understand what is asked

We need the total number of bridging carbonyl ligands in the two complexes:

  • W(CO)6\mathrm{W(CO)_6}W(CO)6​
  • Mn2(CO)10\mathrm{Mn_2(CO)_{10}}Mn2​(CO)10​

A bridging carbonyl is a μ\muμ-CO ligand that connects two metal atoms.


  1. Analyse W(CO)6\mathrm{W(CO)_6}W(CO)6​

W(CO)6\mathrm{W(CO)_6}W(CO)6​ is a mononuclear metal carbonyl complex.

  • It contains only one tungsten atom.
  • Since there is only one metal center, a carbonyl ligand cannot bridge between two metals.

Therefore, number of bridging carbonyls in W(CO)6\mathrm{W(CO)_6}W(CO)6​ is:

000


  1. Analyse Mn2(CO)10\mathrm{Mn_2(CO)_{10}}Mn2​(CO)10​

Mn2(CO)10\mathrm{Mn_2(CO)_{10}}Mn2​(CO)10​ is a binuclear metal carbonyl.

Its structure consists of:

  • an Mn−Mn\mathrm{Mn-Mn}Mn−Mn bond
  • 10 terminal CO ligands
  • no bridging CO ligands

This is the standard structure of dimanganese decacarbonyl.

Therefore, number of bridging carbonyls in Mn2(CO)10\mathrm{Mn_2(CO)_{10}}Mn2​(CO)10​ is:

000


  1. Find the sum

0+0=00 + 0 = 00+0=0


  1. Final answer

The sum of bridging carbonyls is:

0\boxed{0}0​


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer = 000

Our derived answer = 000

So, the answer matches the stored correct answer.
