If I am not mistaken cyanide can be several specific compounds and is usually one carbon atom triple-bonded to three nitrogen atoms. I doubt that one would hardly ever find cyanide in an ionized state.

What carries the negative charge on ferrocyanide?

Ferrocyanide carries the negative charge in the form of the ferrocyanide ion, which is [Fe(CN)6]4-. This ion consists of a central iron atom (Fe) surrounded by six cyanide ions (CN-) that act as ligands. The overall charge of the ion is negative, with the cyanide ions providing the negative charge.


Oxidation no in Ag(CN)2-?

The oxidation number of Ag in Ag(CN)2- is +1. This is because the overall charge of the complex ion is -1, and each cyanide ion (CN-) has a charge of -1. Since there are two cyanide ions, the total negative charge is -2, leaving the silver ion with a +1 oxidation state to balance the charge.


What is the ionic formula for sodium cyanide?

The ionic formula for sodium cyanide is NaCN. Sodium is a group 1 metal that forms a +1 cation, and cyanide is a polyatomic ion with a -1 charge. Therefore, one sodium ion (Na+) combines with one cyanide ion (CN-) to form the compound NaCN.


What is the oxidation number of nitrogen atom cyanide ion?

The oxidation number of the nitrogen atom in the cyanide ion (CN-) is -3. This is because carbon is more electronegative than nitrogen, so it takes the -1 oxidation state while nitrogen takes the -3 oxidation state to balance the overall charge of the ion.
