Is HCN ionic or covalent?

A molecule is not any kind of bond! Instead it has or contains bonds. The bonds in HCN are covalent but fairly strongly polar.


Are there any resonance structures in HCN?

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.
