Question:medium
The correct statements about metal carbonyls are:
A. The metal-carbon bonds in metal carbonyls possess both \(\sigma\) and \(\pi\) character.
B. Due to synergic bonding interactions between metal and CO ligand, the metal-carbon bond becomes weak.
C. The metal-carbon \(\sigma\) bond is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of metal.
D. The metal-carbon \(\pi\) bond is formed by the donation of electrons from filled d-orbital of metal into vacant \(\pi^*\) orbital of CO.
