Write in order: H C N
Single bond(or on the computer a line) between H and C.
Triple bond(or on the computer a line) between C and N.
Add two dots for electrons on right side of N.
Like so~ H-C≡N:

∙ 15y agoI can't tell you why, but i know the structure is two hydrogens bonded to each nitrogen. and the nitrogens have a single bond with one lone pair each.
like this

H-N-N-H

∙ 14y agoWe find that hydrogen cyanide, HCN, forms a linear molecule with the carbon in the middle. A single bond holds the hydrogen on one end, and a triple bond holds the nitrogen on the opposite end. A link below will take you to all you need to know about his extremely toxic substance.

∙ 14y agoA hydrogen, a carbon and notrogen, all in a straight line. There is one bond (either a line, or two dots) between the carbon and hydrogen and three bonds (either a line or three pairs of dots) between the carbon and nitrogen.

∙ 12y agoone carbon triple bonded to one nitrogen, both have one lone pair, and the entire molecule has an overall negative one charge.

How many single covalent bonds down at is the Lewis dot structure for hydrogen bromide?
The Lewis dot structure for hydrogen bromide (HBr) consists of a single covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and the bromine atom. So, there is one single covalent bond in the Lewis dot structure of HBr.
What do you use to draw a Lewis structure of either molecule or atom?
dots
What is the resonance form?
resonance forms are individual lewis structure in cases where two or more lewis structure are equally good descriptions of a single molecule .
Does CH4 have an resonance structure?
No it does not. All sides have a Hydrogen so no matter where you move it to, its still the same Lewis structure.
What condition occurs when more than one valid Lewis structure can be drawn for a molecule?
Resonance structure

They run experiments that can determine the bond strength of a molecule.
Why don't we show separate diagrams of hydrogen ion and sulphate ion when drawing Lewis dot diagram of sulphuric acid?
Sulfuric acid is a molecule, although it separates into ions while dissolving in water. Therefore there are no ions in the Lewis structure for sulfuric acid.
