(1) each carbon in the structure has 4 bonding pairs of electrons and no lone pairs;
(2) each N has 3 bonding pairs of electrons and | lone pair of electrons;
(3) each O has 2 bonding pairs of electrons and 2 lone pairs of electrons;
(4) each H is attached by only a single bond (1 bonding pair of electrons).
The complete Lewis structure for methyl cyanoacrylate with all atoms having a formal charge of 0 is:
H-C-N≡C-C=C-C-H
