Explain the concept of back-donation in metal carbonyl complexes.

Back-donation refers to the transfer of electron density from CO ligands to the metal's s orbitals.

Back-donation involves the donation of π electrons from CO to the metal.

Back-donation is the process of removing electrons from CO ligands to stabilize the metal.
