Question
The molecule cyanazine, once used as an herbicide, has now been phased out by the EPA because of its significant human toxicity. Add lone pairs, as needed, to the structure of cyanazine.

Below the description, there is a drawing toolbar with options for Sketch, Elements (C, N, H, Cl), Templates, and More Tools to facilitate the drawing process. Tools for drawing single, double, and triple bonds are available, represented by one, two, and three parallel lines, respectively.

The molecular structure of cyanazine is depicted. The cyclic structure consists of a six-membered ring with nitrogen atoms. The ring contains three nitrogen atoms with double and single bonds alternating with carbon atoms. Here is the detailed structure:

- The cyclic structure has three nitrogen (N) atoms and three carbon (C) atoms.
- There is a chlorine (Cl) atom attached to one of the carbon atoms in the ring.
- An ethyl group (CH₃-CH₂-) is attached to one of the nitrogen atoms.
- An isopropyl group (with a cyano group, -C≡N-) is attached to another nitrogen atom outside the ring.

In the completed and accurate depiction of this molecule, lone pairs should be added to the nitrogen and chlorine atoms where appropriate to reflect their actual electron configurations.
