  2. Hydrogen isocyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_isocyanide

    Hydrogen isocyanide (HNC) is a linear triatomic molecule with C ∞v point group symmetry.It is a zwitterion and an isomer of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). [2] Both HNC and HCN have large, similar dipole moments, with μ HNC = 3.05 Debye and μ HCN = 2.98 Debye respectively. [3]

  3. Hydrogen cyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_cyanide

    Hydrogen cyanide (formerly known as prussic acid) is a chemical compound with the formula HCN and structural formula H−C≡N.It is a highly toxic and flammable liquid that boils slightly above room temperature, at 25.6 °C (78.1 °F).

  4. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Expressing resonance when drawing Lewis structures may be done either by drawing each of the possible resonance forms and placing double-headed arrows between them or by using dashed lines to represent the partial bonds (although the latter is a good representation of the resonance hybrid which is not, formally speaking, a Lewis structure).

  5. Protonated hydrogen cyanide - Wikipedia

    Since the initial detection, HCNH + has also been observed in TMC-1 [15] [16] as well as DR 21(OH) [15]. [17] The initial detection toward Sgr B2 has also been confirmed. [15] [18] All 3 of these sources are dense molecular clouds, and to date HCNH + has not been detected in diffuse interstellar material.

  6. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The number of electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom is determined after drawing the Lewis structure of the molecule, and expanding it to show all bonding groups and lone pairs of electrons. [1]: 410–417 In VSEPR theory, a double bond or triple bond is treated as a single bonding group. [1]

    Gilbert Newton Lewis ForMemRS [1] (October 23 [2] [3] [4] or October 25, 1875 – March 23, 1946) [1] [5] [6] was an American physical chemist and a dean of the college of chemistry at University of California, Berkeley.

  8. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

    In the same year that Brønsted and Lowry published their theory, G. N. Lewis created an alternative theory of acid–base reactions. The Lewis theory is based on electronic structure. A Lewis base is a compound that can give an electron pair to a Lewis acid, a compound that can accept an electron pair.

  9. Cyanohydrin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanohydrin

    In the laboratory, this liquid serves as a source of HCN, which is inconveniently volatile. [4] Thus, acetone cyanohydrin can be used for the preparation of other cyanohydrins, for the transformation of HCN to Michael acceptors, and for the formylation of arenes. Treatment of this cyanohydrin with lithium hydride affords anhydrous lithium cyanide:
