In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is following by a statement of reason (R ) A : Haloalkanes react with KCN to give alkyl cyanide as the main product while with AgCN they form isocyanide as the main product. R: In KCN, k form ionic bond due to which one lone pair present on carbon, so carbon act as donor but in AgCN, Ag form covalent bond and carbon has no lone pair so N-atom act as donor.
