  2. B \(\mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_5\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Fe}=x\) For \(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_5, x+(5 \times 0)=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad x=0\)
