    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 :

                    \[C{{N}^{-}}\]is a strong field ligand because it is an example of pseudohalide. Pseudohalide ions are stronger coordinating ligands and they have the ability to form a bond and it bond.
