24. The complex Co₂(CO)₈ exists in different isomeric forms. In the solid state, it contains two bridging CO ligands. How many Co-Co bonds are required to satisfy the 18-electron rule for each Co atom? (A) 4 (B) 1 (C) 3 (D) 2 (E) 0

6. The atomic radius of aluminum (Al) is 143 pm, while that of gallium (Ga) is 122 pm. Why is Al larger than Ga, despite Ga being below Al in Group 13? (A) Ga is a transition metal, which inherently has a smaller radius than p-block elements like Al. (B) The addition of the 3d subshell in Ga provides poor shielding, leading to a higher effective nuclear charge that pulls valence electrons closer. (C) Al has more electron shells occupied than Ga, causing its atomic radius to be larger. (D) Ga has a more stable electron configuration that allows its valence shell to contract more easily than Al's. (E) Ga is larger than Al.
