Write the Lewis structure for hydrogen cyanide, HCN, where carbon is the central atom.?

Answer 1

write in order: H C N

single bond between H and C
triple bond between C and N
add two dots for electrons on right side of N

Answer 2

To draw a lewis structure (often called a lewis-dot structure) you connect atoms by lines or dashes. These dashes represent two electrons participating in a bond. You will also draw any lone electron pairs as two dots. Since i can't draw the structure for you i will describe it.
It will look alot like this: H-C-N: , the only difference is that the carbon and the nitrogen have a triple bond between them consisting of three lines (6 electrons). The colon after the N represents the lone electron pair on the nitrogen. A few rules: 1) Hydrogen will only have one bond and no nonbonding electrons. 2) Carbon should always have four bonds and no nonbonding electrons. 3) Oxygen will almost always have only two bonds with 2 nonbonding electron pairs (4 electrons). 4) Nitrogen will have three bonds and one nonbonding electron pair.
