but then how can it be octahedral
Nimboi
Nimboi2mo ago
its not lol the answer seems marked wrong it cant be oct oh unless ah @Say_miracle_shadow @Percy its asking the coordination geometry around any one of the manganese

if you only look at one manganese, it has octahedral geometry

Here is one with numbers, that's visible

yeh mb
Say_miracle_shadow
i said that Mn(CO)5 is sq. pyramidal but when this is joined with other Mn it attains C.N.=6 and hence octahedral... C.N. = 6

got it...I did not consider the Mn-Mn bond

ohk

I can't memorise such a huge para and retain all that info
Say_miracle_shadow
ig by elimination method

who's asking u to memorize anything dawg take the statements one at a time check if they're true or not
Say_miracle_shadow
hmm
Percy
PercyOP2mo ago
I know that A is true but I have no clue about the other statements
Nimboi
Nimboi2mo ago
yeah its all ncert ratta brainrot ive done this ques before for C and D, check the application of coord compounds section E is wrong because Ca-EDTA complex is more stable than Mg-EDTA complex
