$\mathrm{In} \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO}) \mathrm{s}$, the Fe-C bond possesses

$\mathrm{In} \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO}) \mathrm{s}$, the Fe-C bond possesses
  1. \pi-character only
  2. Both $\sigma$ and $\pi$ characters
  3. lonic character
  4. $\sigma$ -character only

Solution

there is $\mathrm{d} \pi-\mathrm{p} \pi$ metal to ligand back bonding in Fe-C bond of the organometallic compound
$\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_{5} .$ So it possesses both $\sigma$ and $\pi$ characters.
