(i) Discuss the nature of bonding in metal carbonyls.(ii) Draw figure to show the splitting of d-orbitals in an octahedral crystal field and write electronic configuration of Mn^(2+) ion when: (a) p gt Delta_(@) (b) Delta_(@) gt p |

Answer» Solution :The metal carbon bond in metal carbonyls possess bith `sigma and pi` CHARACTER. The M-C `simga` bond if FORMED by the `M leftarrowC = O `while M-C `pi` bond if formed by the donation of a pair of electron from filled d-orbital of metal to aibinding `pi*` orbital of CO. (ii)  (a) `t_(2g) ^(3)e_(g)^(2)` (B) `t_(2g) ^(5)e_(g)^(0)` |
