प्रश्न
Cyanide ion acts as an ambident nucleophile. From which end it acts as a stronger nucleophile in aqueous medium? Give reason for your answer.

उत्तर
It acts as a stronger nucleophile from the carbon end because it will lead to the formation of C – C bond which is more stable (bond between two similar atoms) than C – N bond.
