Here nitrogen presents symbolically as positive valence in nitrate molecule.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate
Here hydrogen cyanide HCN needs a negative valence to form with postive valent carbon and hydrogen, but as seen above, nitrogen is postively valent.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide
So I guess the real question is, is an electron forced into the molecule at chemical joining reaction in HCN formation, or is an electron ejected for nitrate formation. I can not seem to mathematically resolve for the insufficiency of electron/protron differential needed for electro atomic attraction.
