[Mn(CO)_(4)NO] is diamagnetic because:

Answer»

Mn metal is diamagnetiic in free state
Mn is in +1 oxidation state in this complex
No is present as positive ligand
All of these

Solution :`[OVERSET(+1)(Mn)(CO)_(4)(NO^(-))]`: Paramagnetic due to presence of UNPAIRED `e^(-)` s in `NO^(-)`
`[overset(-1)(Mn)(CO)_(4)(NO^(+))]:`No unpaired `e^(-)` EITHER on LIGANDS or on `overset(-1)(Mn)` hence it is diamagnetic.
