The Lewis Structure of HCN is shown below,
Number of Bonding Electrons: In HCN Hydrogen is bonded to Carbon through single bond and Nitrogen is bonded to Carbon through Triple Bond. Single bond is formed by two bonding electrons, while, triple bond is formed by six bonding electrons, Hence,
Number of Bonding Electrons = 8
Number of Non-Bonding Electrons:
In HCN there is only one lone pair of electron present on Nitrogen atom which is not taking part in bonding. Hence,
Number of Non-Bonding Electrons = 2
Result: Number of Bonding Electrons = 8 Number of Non-Bonding Electrons = 2

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.
A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.
The number of atom or moles in the compound is
1.17 g C X 1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.
0.287 g H x 1 mol of H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.
This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.
So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.
Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.
we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.
0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.
So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.
We can write the above formula as a CH3.
Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.
