Explain the structure of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ based on valence bond approach.

Manganese pentacarbonyl, Mn2(CO)10, is a complex compound formed by the reaction of manganese metal with carbon monoxide gas. It consists of two manganese atoms coordinated with ten carbon monoxide ligands. The valence bond approach provides insights into the structure of Mn2(CO)10 by considering the interactions between the metal and ligands.

In the valence bond model:

1. Manganese Atom: Each manganese (Mn) atom contributes seven valence electrons (5 from the d-orbital and 2 from the s-orbital) for bonding. These electrons are involved in forming bonds with carbon __________ _________ __________ __________ __________ __________.
