HCN is a compound called hydrogen cyanide. It is commonly known as just cyanide and became infamous as a poison. It is a carbon atom, a hydrogen atom and a nitrogen atom combined in what is called a linear molecular shape. The nitrogen has 3 bonds to the central carbon, and the hydrogen has a single bond to the carbon.
HCN is a gas that you can easily breathe into your lungs. It smell like almonds. Cyanide bonds (irreversibly) to the site where oxygen usually binds causing death from suffocation.
It is famous for its use a a poison, but a derivative of it KCN is used in mining gold.
It is not an element, it is a compound known as hydrogen cyanide.
It contains three elements: hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen.
