Chemistry · Covalent Bonding: Concept of electronegativity, Fajan's rule, dipole moment, Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory and shapes of simple molecules
Shape of is:
Shape of \( C O_{2} \) is:
- A. pyramidal
- B. triangular
- C. linear
- D. spherical
Step-by-step solution
CO2 has a central carbon atom with two double bonds to oxygen atoms and no lone pairs, giving a steric number of 2. According to VSEPR theory, this results in a linear geometry with a bond angle of 180°.
