Hydrogen cyanide is a hydrogen bonded to a complex ion, cyanide (CN-). The hydrogen is single bonded to the cyanide ion, which is a carbon triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. See the link below for a good representation of this molecule.
The HCN molecule has a linear shape, which is a result of sp hybridization of the carbon atom. This means that the carbon atom in HCN uses one s orbital and one p orbital to form two sp hybrid orbitals, allowing for a linear molecular geometry.
The molecular geometry of HCN influences the formation of hybrid orbitals. In HCN, the carbon atom forms sp hybrid orbitals due to the linear molecular geometry, allowing for strong sigma bonds with hydrogen and nitrogen atoms. This arrangement results in a linear shape for the molecule.
A molecule is not any kind of bond! Instead it has or contains bonds. The bonds in HCN are covalent but fairly strongly polar.
HCN - Hydrogen cyanide The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN. HCN stands for hydrogen cyanide. The conjugate acids are a combination of a strong acid and a low base.
All are triatomic molecules but HCN is also heteroatomic molecule.

In addition to the molecule's geometry (shape), the other factor in determining whether a molecule is polar is the difference in electronegativity between the atoms that make up the molecule. If there is a significant difference in electronegativity, causing an uneven distribution of electron density, the molecule is more likely to be polar.
All are triatomic molecules but HCN is also heteroatomic molecule.
Yes, there are resonance structures in HCN. The triple bond in the molecule can resonate between the carbon and nitrogen atoms, leading to electron delocalization and the formation of multiple resonance structures.
H-C≡N I believe it's something along those lines.
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
