Explain the structure of Fe(CO)₅ based on valence bond approach. 

Fe(CO)₅, also known as iron pentacarbonyl, is a complex molecule where the central atom is iron (Fe) surrounded by five carbon monoxide (CO) ligands. To explain the structure of Fe(CO)₅ using the valence bond approach, we need to consider the bonding between the iron atom and the CO ligands.

Iron in Fe(CO)₅ has an oxidation state of 0, which means it has the electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d⁶ ____ ____ ______ _____ _______ _______ _____ ____.
