Amedient neuclophiles are those which can attack from both sides.
For eg KCN
For eg KCN
sharine:
what it attack?
please say
Attack means react but more precisely we called it an attack
on which it react both side
please I didn't understand please say clearly
for eg RCl reacts with AgCN as AgCN does not ionise so it attacks through N and reaction becomes RCl+AgCN gives RNC + AgBr

An ambident nucleophile is an anionic nucleophile whose negative charge is delocalized by resonance over two unlike atoms or over two like but non-equivalent atoms. The most common ambident nucleophiles are enolate ions.
ie it can donate lone pair of electrons from two sides
eg CN and NC (Cyanide and isocyanide that donate electron pair respectively from carbon and nitrogen side)
