(a)
Interpretation:
The complete Lewis structure of HCN needs to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Lewis structures are used to represent the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons present in it.
Polar bond has an unequal electron distribution between two atoms. The polar nature of a bond can be determined using the electronegativity difference between two atoms.
(b)
