1.	`CN^(-)` is a strong field ligand. This is due to the fact thatA. (a) it can accept electron from metal speciesB. (b) it forms high spin complexes with metal speciesC. (c) it carries negative charge.D. (d) it is a pseudohalide
Answer» Correct Answer - D Cyanide ion is strong field ligand because it is a pseudohalide ion. Pseudohalide ions are stronger coordinating ligand and they have the ability to form `sigma` bond (from the pseudohalide to the metal) and `pi` bond (from the metal to pseudohalide).
