Q
Q: What is the molecular geometry of CO2?
Solution:
CO2 has a linear geometry due to the arrangement of two double bonds around the central carbon atom.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the chemical formula, which is CO2. This means there is one carbon (C) atom and two oxygen (O) atoms.
Step 2: Determine the central atom. In CO2, carbon (C) is the central atom because it is less electronegative than oxygen.
Step 3: Count the number of bonds. Carbon forms two double bonds with the two oxygen atoms in CO2.
Step 4: Visualize the arrangement. The two double bonds are on opposite sides of the carbon atom, creating a straight line.
Step 5: Conclude the geometry. Since the arrangement of the bonds is straight, CO2 has a linear molecular geometry.
