I trying to create physical standby database, I followed this steps https://dbaclass.com/article/how-to-create-physical-standby-database/

I got to the last step, but when I try to startup standby db in mount mode I got ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

I don't know, what is happening with controlfile - there is no explanation in this link

I do wonder why you are asking here, rather than asking the owner of that web site.
I also wonder why you are following some third party routine when you could follow the Oracle docs.

However, I do not see any instruction to start the database in mount mode. So I don't know what you are doing at all. You have provide more information.

to start the last step

SYS> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01507: database not mounted

because the database is not in the mount mode
