Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following molecules has a linear shape?
Correct Answer: CO2
  • Step 1: Identify the molecules you are comparing. In this case, we are looking at CO2 (carbon dioxide).
  • Step 2: Understand what a linear shape means. A linear shape means that the atoms are arranged in a straight line.
  • Step 3: Look at the structure of CO2. It has one carbon atom in the center and two oxygen atoms on either side.
  • Step 4: Check the bonds in CO2. It has two double bonds (one between carbon and each oxygen).
  • Step 5: Determine the arrangement of the atoms. The double bonds cause the molecule to be straight, making it linear.
  • Step 6: Conclude that CO2 has a linear shape because of its arrangement of atoms and bonds.
