Write out the molecular formula and lewis structure for cyanide

Answer :  The molecular formula of cyanide is, and Lewis structure of cyanide is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is,

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 4 + 5 + 1 = 10

The skeleton structure of the compound, C molecule act as a central atom and is bonded to N with one sigma-bond and two pi-bonds with one negative charge.

Hence, the molecular formula of cyanide is, and Lewis structure of cyanide is shown below.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
