X why is cyano group called as anambident group?
1 answer:
Answer:
Both the C and the N can participate in reactions
Explanation:
The word ambident comes from two Latin words that mean "both teeth".
An ambident group can react at two different sites to form products.
For example, the cyano group has two major resonance structures (see below).
The hybrid has two different ends, each with a lone pair and a partial negative charge.
Thus, it can react to form CH₃CN by having the C attack, or CH₃NC by having the N attack.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy
Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy
So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:
Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.
Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level
The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell
the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)
