(N/A) The central metal atom is Chromium $(Cr)$ with an atomic number of $24$. The electronic configuration of $Cr$ is $[Ar] 3d^5 4s^1$.
In the $[Cr(CO)_6]$ complex,the oxidation state of $Cr$ is $0$.
$CO$ is a strong field ligand,which causes pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals.
The hybridization involved is $d^2sp^3$,which corresponds to an octahedral geometry.
The structure consists of a central $Cr$ atom surrounded by six $CO$ ligands arranged at the corners of an octahedron.
