Yes! It's actually a great pi acceptor.

What are pi acceptor ligand?
ligands which can accept electrons from the metal d orbital into there anti bonding orbital such as CO, or C=C
4 CO is a pi acceptor ligand Why?
The CO ligand can easily back-bond, accepting electron density from the metal centre through pi bonds. This is because of the empty anti-bonding orbitals.
What are bonds in KCN?
Ionic Bond between K+ and CN- ions. The C and N in CN_ ion are bonded by covalent sigma and pi bonds.
What kind of bonding in NaNO3?
Ionic between the Na+ and NO3- ions, and covalent N-O bonds within the nitrate ion.
Nitrogen tri floride has little tendency to act as electron acceptor as compaire to boron tri floride?
NB: I have changed the question from electron donor to electron acceptor as BF3 has no electron donating properties and so it must be assumed the original question was erroneous.So NF3. Nitrogen has 8 electrons and a full shell. Each Fluorine has 8 electrons and a full shell. That's a stable, satisfied molecule. Accepting or donating electrons is thermodynamically unfavourable.BF3, however...is very electron poor. The fluorines actually donate electron density to the boron via weak pi bonding to help compensate the molecule's strong electron poverty. The boron is 2 electrons from completing it's octet (and thus becoming very stable) and so is a strong Lewis acid (lone pair acceptor). By accepting two electrons, BF3 can become electronically equivalent to NF3.

What is the structure of a pi-H ion?
A pi-H ion doesn't exist. It is an error or confusion.
The number of pi bonds in the carbon oxalate ion?
There are two pi bonds.
What kind of bonds does KCN have?
Ionic, between K+ and pi-bonded cyanide, CN-.

The number of pi bonds in the oxalate ion c2o42- is?
its not 4.
What has the author Stephen Robert Ely written?
Stephen Robert Ely has written: 'Novel lanthanide compounds with [pi]-ligands' -- subject(s): Rare earth metal compounds 'Transmission of digital information'
Definition of electrophilic substitutionat school level?
When a positive ion (electrophile) attacks on a pi bond or partially negative carbon atom and replace H as a positive ion then it is electrophilic substitution reaction.
Does phosphorus have access to a d orbital?
Yes, phosphorous (and sulfur) have access to a d orbital. It's a bit weird (as is most chemistry), in the ground state phosphorous does not have any d orbital electrons, however, d orbital hybridization is used to explain why phosphorous can form more than the "octet" number of bonds, such as PCl5. This d orbital is also used when describing phosphorous as a pi-acceptor ligand, and the reason it can be considered a pi-acceptor ligand is because it does have access to that d orbital, which can accept the metal's e- density. Hope that helped.
What are bonds in KCN?
Ionic Bond between K+ and CN- ions. The C and N in CN_ ion are bonded by covalent sigma and pi bonds.
How many sigma bonds are there in a Potassium Oxalate?
There are 5 sigma bonds along with 2 pi bonds in oxalate ion and 2 ionic bonds with potassium.
Why only transition elements are known to form pi-complexes?
Bonding in π-complexes is strongest when both the filled π-bonding orbital of the π-bonded ligand donates TO the metal and the empty π* orbital on the ligand can accept electron density FROM the metal. A metal with a partially-filled set of d orbitals is able to participate in this synergistic mode of bonding; main group atoms virtually never have filled pπ orbitals available for donating electron density to π-complexed ligand, hence this kind of complex occurs only with transition metals.
