Which of the following are organometallic compounds ? i) ii) iii) iv) v) a) i) and ii) only b) i), ii) and iii) only c) i), ii), iii) and iv) only d) i), ii), iii) and v) only

Answer

Organometallic compounds are those that contain at least one metal-carbon bond. Let’s analyze each option:

  • i) : Contains a carbon-magnesium bond (C-Mg), so it is organometallic.
  • ii) : Contains carbon bonded to nickel (C-Ni), so it is organometallic.
  • iii) : Contains a carbon-lithium bond (C-Li), so it is organometallic.
  • iv) : Contains no metal-carbon bond (only C-O-Na), so it is not organometallic.
  • v) : Contains carbon-tin bonds (C-Sn), so it is organometallic.

Thus, the correct options are i), ii), iii), and v).

Answer: d) i), ii), iii) and v) only
