The correct statements about metal carbonyls are
and 
-character. and , and
only
and
bond is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of metal. and only
bond is formed by the donation of electrons from filled d-orbital of metal into vacant

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
The metal-carbon bonds in metal carbonyls possess both 
and 
-character.
The metal to ligand bonding creates a synergic effect which strengthens the bond between CO and the metal i.e. metal carbon bond becomes strong.
The metal-carbon 
is formed by the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of metal.
The metal-carbon 
bond is formed by the donation of electrons from filled d-orbial of metal into vacant 
orbital of CO.
