Al - OC-W would be the right answer.
W forms sigma and pi back bonding with the CO , Al forms sigma bond
with O of CO because it is more electronegative. This information
can be derived from the molecular orbital diagrams .

In some cases CO can act as a bridging ligand between main-group and transition-metal atoms. When it forms a bridge between Al and W in the compound having the formula (C6H5)3Al- [bridging CO]- W(CO)2(C5H5), is the order of atoms in the bridge Al-CO-W or Al-OC-W? Briefly explain your choice.
Two fifth-period atoms, one of a transition metal, M, and the other of a main-group nonmetal, X , form a compound with the formula M2X3 . Enter answers with noble-gas core, that is, an inner-shell configuration corresponding to nearest noble gases, plus outer electrons. A. What is the electron configuration of atom X if M is Ru ? (Express your answer in condensed form, in order of increasing orbital energy.) B. What is the electron configuration of atom X if...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
