Question

Statement-1 : CN⁻ ion is an ambident nucleophile.
Statement-2 : Nucleophiles are electron rich species.

Answer 1

The first statement that CN⁻ ion is an ambident nucleophile is a true statement

1) ambident nucleophile are those nucleophile which can attack from two sides and form two different product here it can form either bonding with N or with C.

The second statement that nucleophile are electron rich species is also true

2) As Nucleophiles are rich in electrons and, as thus, donate electron pairs to electrophiles to form covalent bonds in chemical reactions.

Answer 2

Both assertions are true.

Explanation:

• A nucleophile is a specie that has the tendency to react at poor electron site and can share its electrons with electron deficient specie.
• An ambient nucleophile is a species whose negative charge is delocalized by resonance.

• The first statement is true.
• CN⁻ ion is an ambient nucleophile.
• The statement 2 is also true. As Nucleophiles are electron rich species.

Thus both assertions are true.
