Answer: 26

Given: $C_{2} (CN)_{4}$

To find: $X_{1} +X_{2}+ X_{3} +X_{4}$

Solution:

The structural formula of $C_{2} (CN)_{4}$ ,

In the structural formula,

sp hybridised carbon = 4

σ bond = 9

π bond = 9

Lone pair = 4

So,

$X_{1} +X_{2}+ X_{3} +X_{4}$ = 4 + 9 + 9 + 4

= 26

Important definitions:

Hybridization: Energy redistribution from single-atom orbitals to equal-energy orbitals occurs when two atomic orbitals combine in a molecule to form a hybrid orbital. This process is called hybridization. In the hybridization process, atomic orbitals of comparable energy are mixed, most often the merger of two 's' orbitals or two 'p' orbitals, or 's' and 'p' and 's' orbitals. and 'd' orbitals. New orbitals created in this way are called hybrid orbitals. More importantly, hybrid orbitals are very useful in describing atomic bonding properties and molecular structures.
