    \[C{{N}^{-}}\]is a strong field ligand. This is due to the fact that

    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.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[C{{N}^{-}}\] is a strong field ligand as it is a psuedohalide ion. These ions are strong coordinating ligands and hence have the tendency to form \[\sigma \]-bond (from the pseudo halide to the metal) and \[\pi \]-bond. (from the metal to pseudo halide)
