Solution

A bridge bond is said to be formed when a single atom/molecule is connected with 2 different units simultaneously.
Following is the structure of $M n_{2} (C O)_{10}$ :
There are no bridge CO groups present in this molecule. All the $C O$ units are connected through terminal bonds with respective $M n$ metal.
