he Lewis structure for the covalent compound hydrogen cyanide is shown below. How does the carbon atom in hydrogen cyanide bond with the nitrogen and oxygen?
a
The carbon atom would share one pair of electrons with the hydrogen atom and three pairs of electrons with the nitrogen atom.
b
The carbon atom would share one pair of electrons with the nitrogen atom and two pairs of electrons with the hydrogen atom.
c
The carbon atom would share one pair of electrons with the hydrogen atom and two pairs of electrons with the nitrogen atom.
d
The carbon atom would share one pair of electrons with the nitrogen atom and three pairs of electrons with the hydrogen atom.
