Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the geometry of a molecule with two bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central atom? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the central atom of the molecule.
  • Step 2: Count the number of bonding pairs (the connections to other atoms) around the central atom.
  • Step 3: Check if there are any lone pairs (unbonded pairs of electrons) on the central atom.
  • Step 4: Since there are two bonding pairs and no lone pairs, the arrangement of the atoms will be in a straight line.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the geometry of the molecule is linear.
