Low oxidation state of metals in their complexes are common when ligands :
- Have good π-accepting character
- Have good σ-donor character
- Are having good π-donating ability
- Are having poor σ-donating ability
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (A): Have good π-accepting character
Ligands like :CO, are sigma donor and π-acceptor and they make stronger bond with lower oxidation state metal ion, in this case back bonding is more effective.

Concepts Used:
Oxidation and Reduction
What is Oxidation?
Oxidation is a chemical process which can be explained by following four point of views
In terms of oxygen transfer
In terms of electron transfer
In terms of hydrogen transfer
In terms of oxidation number
Oxidation in Terms of Oxygen Transfer – Oxidation is gain of oxygen.
What is Reduction?
Reduction is a chemical process which can be explained by following four point of views
In terms of oxygen transfer
In terms of electron transfer
In terms of hydrogen transfer
In terms of oxidation number
Reduction in Terms of Oxygen Transfer – Reduction is loss of oxygen.
What is Redox Reaction?
A chemical reaction which involves transfer of electrons or change in oxidation number of atoms is called redox reaction.
