Solution
The number of ligand(s) which is/are non-classical ligand is 4. These include CO, NO, C2H4, C3H−5.
They are pi bonding ligands.
They form complexes only with transition metals by simultaneous donor and acceptor interaction between occupied and free orbitals of the pi ligand and the d orbitals of the metal.
