1: Which calculation is correct when applying the The
Eighteen Electron Rule to the following structures.
(Click on the best summation.)
1a)
Fe0
= 8e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 4e- C2H4 = 1e- 18e- See answer |
Fe+
= 9e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 2e- C2H4 = 2e- 18e- See answer |
Fe-
= 7e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 4e- C2H4 = 4e- 16e- See answer |
Fe+
= 7e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 4e- C2H4 = 2e- 18e- See answer |
1b)
Fe0
= 8e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 8e- 18e- See answer |
Fe0
= 8e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 4e- 17e- See answer |
Fe-
= 9e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 4e- 18e- See answer |
Fe+
= 9e- ( 2 x (CO)T = 4e- 18e- See answer |
