Vedclass · Answer

(A) Pseudohalide ions are monovalent negative ions composed of two or more electronegative atoms that exhibit chemical properties similar to those of halide ions $(X^-)$. These ions can form dimeric molecules known as pseudohalogens,which behave similarly to halogens $(X_2)$. Among the given options,the cyanide ion $(CN^-)$ is a well-known pseudohalide,and its corresponding pseudohalogen is cyanogen $(CN)_2$.
