carbonyl in electron acceptor ligand

it has empty orbital which can accept electron as well as filled orbital which can donate electrons .

when carbonyl binds with metal it donates the electrons ,metal which is in low oxidation state now has excess electrons and it becomes stable if it back donate some electrons to the carbonyl in its anti bonding orbital forming a pi bond

Why does co forms numerable metal complexes?

Carbon monoxide forms complexes called carbonyls. The carbon monoxide bonds via the carbon atom. A full molecular orbital treatment shows that there is a pair of electrons on the carbon that can be donated to the metal forming a sigma bond; There are filled d orbitals on the metal that "back donate" into empty anti-bonding molecular orbitals on the CO. This is a push me pull you synergistic effect.


Is metallic bonding between metal and a metal?

yes


What are two types of bonding in metal?

The bonding in transition metals involves both a "covalent" contribution and a metallic "cloud of electrons bond. Alkali metals just have the cloud of electrons to hold them together- hence softer and lower melting.


Is covalent bonding a nonmetal or metal?

Nonmetals undergo covalent bonding with one another. Covalent bonding is neither a nonmetal nor a metal.


Is this compound KNO3 a covalent bond?

KNO3 (potassium nitrate) is made up of potassium (an alkali metal) and nitrogen and oxygen (which are both gasses or 'non-metals'). Ionic bonding is the bonding between a metal and a non-metal. This means that it is not covalent bonding but in fact 'ionic bonding'.


Is copper II hydroxide covalent?

Copper (II) oxide, CuO is a compound containing a metal - copper, and a non-metal - oxygen. It is therefore has ionic bonding. Remember: Metal - non-metal = ionic bonding Non-metal - non-metal = covalent bonding Metal - metal = metallic bonding


Is metal bonding with metal known as a mettalic bond?

Yes, it is true.


What types of chemical bonding have bronze?

Bronze being a metal alloy, it would be held by metallic bonding.


How can you determine the type of chemical bond a substance has?

If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.
