Answer : Linear
Explanation : Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) when drwan in the Lewis diagram shows carbon atom at the center with no lone electron pairs.
The carbon and nitrogen atoms are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair".
The molecule has two electron pairs in all and appears to be linear.
Also, according to the VSEPR theory; the electron clouds on atoms around the carbon will try to repel each other.
They will get pushed apart, which gives HCN molecule a linear molecular geometry or shape.
The bond angle that is developed will be 180 degrees since it has a linear molecular geometry of HCN. The hybridisation observed in this molecule is SP.
