In a cyanide ion, the bond between the carbon and nitrogen is covalent. I have no idea why you would ask if it is a dative bond, because dative is a grammatical term, not a chemical term.

What is the cation and anion of Potassium cyanide?
The cation is KCN+ and the anion is KC2N-
What is the charge of hydrogen cyanide?
Hydrogen cyanide is an anion so it is a negatively charged ion.
What is the name of the ion CN?
cyanide ionCannium (Cn)the polyatomic anion cyanide. compounds can be named such as Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and Sodium cyanide (NaCN)

What compound does NH4CN make?
The cation is ammonium ion. Cyanide ion is the anion. The systematic name for this compound is Ammonium Cyanide.
What is the element of cyanide on periodic table?
No, because cyanide is not an element. It is a polyatomic ion, made up of multiple elements.
What is the bond angle of hydrogen cyanide?
The bond angle of Hydrogen Cyanide, or HCN, is 180 degrees. The structure looks like this: H-(single bond)-C-(triple bond)-N:
Does gold have covalent bond?
Yes, it can. For example, gold forms a covalent bond with a cyanide ion, which is why cyanide salts are used in the mining industry.
How does a polarised anion differ from an unpolarised anion?
Well the difference will be in the type of bond formed as a result. The bond would be Ionic in case of polarized anion and Covalent in case or unpolarised anion.The related link below also talks about the size of the anion and charge density in determining the bond type.
An ionic bond is between?
A cation and an anion
Does an anion always form a covalent bond?
No. An anion may contain covalent bonds, if it is a polyatomic anion, but an anion forms only ionic bonds if the anion's chemical integrity is maintained.
