The Lewis Dot structure of Cyanide ion starts with a C atom connected to a N atom with three dashes. On the opposite sides on each atom are two dots for the unshared valence electrons. Because it is an ion, it is bracketed and a - superscript is placed after it.

∙ 9y agoCyanide enjoys a rather simple Lewis dot structure. A C atom and an N atom are triply bonded to each other with a pair of dots on each atom. This structure is enclosed in brackets and noted with a - symbol.

∙ 9y agoCN- has the Lewis dot structure that begins with a triply bonded C and N atom. On each of them, there is a single pair of dots.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere is one pair of electrons on C, and one pair on N.
They are triple bonded.
Ex. :N:::C:
People tend to get confused because the C does not have a complete octet.

What is the difference between Lewis symbol and Lewis structure?
The difference between the Lewis dot structure and the structural formula is that the formula only shows the bonds that have formed whereas the dot structure shows all the valence electrons, including lone pairs, in that molecule.
