$[Mn(CO)_6]$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) species acts as a reducing agent if it can lose electrons to achieve a more stable electronic configuration,typically following the $18$-electron rule (Effective Atomic Number,$EAN = 36$ for $Mn$).For $[Mn(CO)_6]$,the total number of valence electrons is $25 + (6 	imes 2) = 37$.Since $37 > 36$,the species $[Mn(CO)_6]$ is unstable and tends to lose one electron to form $[Mn(CO)_6]^+$,which has $36$ electrons $(37 - 1 = 36)$.Therefore,$[Mn(CO)_6]$ acts as a reducing agent.
