Problem

In the isoelectronic series of metal carbonyl, the CO bond strength is expected to increase in the order : (1) [Mn(CO)6]+<[Cr(CO)6]<[V(CO)6]−[\text{Mn}(\text{CO})_6]^+ < [\text{Cr}(\text{CO})_6] < [\text{V}(\text{CO})_6]^- (2) [V(CO)6]−<[Cr(CO)6]<[Mn(CO)6]+[\text{V}(\text{CO})_6]^- < [\text{Cr}(\text{CO})_6] < [\text{Mn}(\text{CO})_6]^+ (3) [V(CO)6]−<[Mn(CO)6]+<[Cr(CO)6][\text{V}(\text{CO})_6]^- < [\text{Mn}(\text{CO})_6]^+ < [\text{Cr}(\text{CO})_6] (4) [Cr(CO)6]<[Mn(CO)6]+<[V(CO)6]−[\text{Cr}(\text{CO})_6] < [\text{Mn}(\text{CO})_6]^+ < [\text{V}(\text{CO})_6]^-
