A.CNO–
B.RCOO–
C.OCN–
D.N3–
Solution
Sol. There are many types of organic chemical compounds in the field of organic chemistry. Similarly, halides are one of the most important organic chemical compounds. There are also many other chemical compounds which have similar characteristics like the halide compounds but they are not actual halides. These compounds are also known as the pseudohalide. And among the four options mentioned in the question, only option d or the NNN⁻ has the similar characteristics of a pseudohalide. (similarities in charge amount, reactivity amount etc.)
