Detailed Solution

${(C O)}_{5} M n - M n {(C O)}_{5}$

Total number of electrons in both $M n$ atoms
$= 2 [A t o m i c n u m b e r o f M n + 5 \times n u m b e r o f e l e c t r o n s c o n t r i b u t e d b y C O] = 2 [25 + 5 \times 2] = 70$

E.A.N. number of $M n$ in $M n_{2} {(C O)}_{10} = \frac{2 \times 25 + 2 + 10 \times 2}{2} = 36 (K r)$

hence it can not act as an oxidising agent.
