SO_2 can act as

Assertion : Cyanides R - C -= N : are very much weaker bases than aliphatic bases. Reason : This is due to the fact that as the nitrogen atom becomes more multiply bonded, the lone pair of electrons are accommodated in an orbital that has more 'S' character. The electron pair is thus drawn closer to the nitrogen nucleus, and held more lightly by it.
