six pairs. four around the nitrogen - one connected to the carbon. One extra pair around only the carbon and one connected to the carbon and hydrogen.
All are triatomic molecules but HCN is also heteroatomic molecule.
Yes, it is called hydrogen cyanide, and it is very toxic.
HCN has a covalent bond. The bond between the hydrogen and carbon atoms is a single covalent bond, while the bond between the carbon and nitrogen atoms is a triple covalent bond.
HCN is a covalent compound. It is made up of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen atoms that share electrons to form covalent bonds.
A molecule is not any kind of bond! Instead it has or contains bonds. The bonds in HCN are covalent but fairly strongly polar.

A molecule is not any kind of bond! Instead it has or contains bonds. The bonds in HCN are covalent but fairly strongly polar.
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.
HCN stands for hydrogen cyanide, which consists of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen atoms. Hydrogen is in the first column (group 1) of the periodic table, carbon is in the fourth column (group 14), and nitrogen is in the fifteenth column (group 15).
Yes, hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is considered an inorganic compound. It is composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms bonded to a nitrogen atom, and it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds that are typical of organic compounds.

HCN is a linear molecule.
HCN has a linear molecule.
The central atom of HCN is carbon. The carbon atom in HCN adopts sp hybridization, which involves mixing one s orbital with one p orbital to form two sp hybrid orbitals, allowing carbon to form a linear geometry with the hydrogen and nitrogen atoms.
