Given below are two statements: one is labelled as "Assertion A" and the other is labelled as “Reason R”.
Assertion A: In the complex 
and 
, the metals have zero oxidation state.
Reason R: Low oxidation states are found when a complex has ligands capable of 
-donor character in addition to the 
-bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below.
is correct but 
is not correct

is NOT the correct explanation of 
and 
are correct and 
is the correct explanation of 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Low oxidation state of metals can stabilized by synergic bonding so ligand has to be 
-acceptor.
