Question

The covalent compound of bromide and this ion couples proteins to affinity resins. Adenosine replaces this ligand on cobalt during vitamin B12 biosynthesis. Carbonyl (“carbon-EEL”) and this iso·electronic ion lie at the strong-field end of the spectro·chemical series. (20[1])This pseudo·halide, the simplest carbon nucleo·phile, reacts by SN2 (“S N two”) to lengthen (20[1])alkyl (“AL-kill”) chains. This ion is dumped into rivers by (*) gold miners using it as a leachant. (10[1])When this ion (10[1])binds to cyto·chrome C oxidase (10[1])and (10[1])shuts off the electron transport chain, (10[1])the victim’s (10[2])skin turns (10[1])blue. (10[3])Nitriles (10[1])are made from this ion, (10[2])which comprises (10[1])a carbon atom triple bonded (10[1])to nitrogen. (10[4])For 10 points, (10[1])name this (10[1])ion found in poisons that smell like bitter almonds. (10[2])■END■ (10[10])
