Oxidation state of I is (-1) and for CO it is zero. Let's assume that the oxidation state of Fe in Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is x. For whole compound, the charge is zero.

Sum of oxidation numbers in all elements = Charge of the compound.

Here we have 1Fe , 4CO and 2I
hence we can find the oxidation state as;
x + 4*0 + 2*(-1) = 0
x + 0 - 2 = 0
x = +2
Hence the oxidation state of Fe in product Fe(CO)₄I₂ (s) is +2.

Same as we can find the oxidation state (y) of Fe in Fe(CO)₅(s).
y + 5*0 = 0
y = 0

Since oxidation state of Fe increased from 0 to +2, the oxidized element is Fe in the given reaction.

whoch of the following statments doesnt describe the structure of a atowhich of the following do not describe the structure of a

ra1l [238]

Answer : The incorrect option is, The most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud.

Explanation :

There are three basic particles of an atom which are neutrons, protons and electrons.

The nucleus which is present in the center of an atom that contains the neutrons and the protons. The protons are positively charged and neutrons has no charge.

The outer region of an atom contains the electrons and the electrons are negatively charged.

As per given options, the statement which is the most of the mass of the atom comes from the electron cloud is incorrect statement because the most of the mass comes from the nucleus in which protons and neutrons are present.
