Iron carbonyl, Fe(CO)5 is

  • Tetranuclear

  • Mononuclear

  • Dinuclear

  • Trinuclear


B.

Mononuclear

Fe(CO)5

EAN = Z - O.N + 2 (C.N)

Here, Z = Atomic number
O.N = Oxidation number
C.N = Coordination number
= 26 - 0 + 2(5)
= 26 + 10
= 36

Only one central atom is present and it follows EAN rule, so it is mononuclear.
