Chapter 3, Problem 3.19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An orbital picture of HCN similar to that in Figure 3-23 is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The orbitals that overlap to form the bonds in a molecule depend on the hybridization of the central atoms. End-on overlap of hybrid orbitals leads to formation of σ bond, and sideways overlap leads to the formation of π bond. Hydrogen has only an s orbital and does not undergo hybridization.
