`CN^–` is a strong field ligand. This is due to the fact that :-

A

(a) it carries negative charge

B

it is a pseudohalide

C

it can accept electrons from metal species

D

it forms high spin complexes with metal species

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`CN^(-)` is a strong field ligand because it is an example uf pseudohalide Pseudohalide ions are stronger coordinating ligands and they have the ability to form `sigma" and "pi`-bonds
