- Understand what is asked
We need the total number of bridging carbonyl ligands in the two complexes:
A bridging carbonyl is a -CO ligand that connects two metal atoms.
- Analyse
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 is:
- Analyse
is a binuclear metal carbonyl.
Its structure consists of:
- an bond
- 10 terminal CO ligands
- no bridging CO ligands
This is the standard structure of dimanganese decacarbonyl.
Therefore, number of bridging carbonyls in is:
- Find the sum
- Final answer
The sum of bridging carbonyls is:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer =
So, the answer matches the stored correct answer.
