MCQ
Consider the coordination compound, $\mathrm{K}_2\left[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]$.  A coordinate covalent bond exists between:
  • A
    $K^+$ and $CN^-$
  • $Cu^{2+}$ and $CN^-$
  • C
    $K^+$and $\ce{Cu(CN)_4}$​
  • D
    $C$ and $N$ in $CN^-$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Cu^{2+}$ and $CN^-$
The coordinate covalent bond exists between the central metal and ligand. In $\mathrm{K}_2\left[\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]$ ex the coordinate bond exists between $Cu^{2+}$ and $CN^-$.
