Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which molecular geometry is associated with a molecule that has two bonding pairs and no lone pairs?
  • Step 1: Identify the number of bonding pairs in the molecule. In this case, there are two bonding pairs.
  • Step 2: Check for the presence of lone pairs. Here, there are no lone pairs.
  • Step 3: Understand that the arrangement of two bonding pairs with no lone pairs leads to a specific shape.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the shape formed by two bonding pairs is linear.
  • Step 5: Confirm this by looking at an example, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a linear geometry.
