a) H-S-C≡N
b) H-S=C=N
c) H-S≡C-N
d) H-S-C-N
e) At least two of the above structures are equally valid when considering formal charge.

4. VSEPR – General Guidelines
Draw the Lewis structure.
If the octet rule is exceeded, add electrons to the central atom.
Multiple bonds count as one direction (or one “effective pair”).
Consider the lone pairs when determining the geometry.
Consider only the atoms when determining the shape.
Polarity comes from asymmetry.
