Vedclass · Answer

(C) The $EAN$ (Effective Atomic Number) rule states that a complex is stable if the total number of electrons around the central metal atom equals the atomic number of the next noble gas.For $[Fe(CO)_5]$:Atomic number of $Fe = 26$.Oxidation state of $Fe = 0$.Number of electrons donated by $5$ $CO$ ligands $= 5 	imes 2 = 10$.$EAN = 26 - 0 + 10 = 36$.Since $36$ is the atomic number of $Krypton$ $(Kr)$,$[Fe(CO)_5]$ obeys the $EAN$ rule.
