(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The types of orbitals and bonds in hydrogen cyanide are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The orbitals are of four types. These are $s$ orbital, $p$ orbital, $d$ orbital and $f$ orbital. The $s$ orbital can have the maximum of two electrons, $p$ orbital can have six maximum electrons, $d$ orbital can have ten maximum electrons and $f$ orbital can have fourteen electrons.

(b)
