I am not 100% sure about this, but I have found many reports that the CO2 compound has a bond angle of 180 degrees,and many chemistry sites support 180 degrees.

∙ 9y agoDo you mean that there is a double bond between each carbon? It would look like this:
H3C=C=CH3
Since it is a straight line, the bond angles would be 180 degrees from C to C.

What is the bond angle between the oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule?
Carbonate ion is in a trigonal planar shape (hint: sp2 hybridization)
Why does magnesium burn in carbon dioxide?
Magnesium burns in carbon dioxide because, when heated, the oxygen in the carbon dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide. Carbon, or soot is formed as a resulting by-product. 2Mg + CO2 ----> 2MgO + C
Does carbon dioxide contain a polar or non-polar bond?
The carbon-oxygen bond is a polar bond, but because they are exactly opposed to each other, the molecule is overall non-polar.
Do ozone and SO2 have the same geometry?
No, but they are pretty close. The bond angle in ozone is 116.8°, and the bond angle in sulfur dioxide is 119°. The oxygens bonded in sulfur dioxide are bond doubly bonded, while in ozone it has two resonace forms where one of the oxygen hangs on by a single bond. The boiling point temperatures are prety close too...
An individual carbon-oxygen bond is polar but carbon dioxide which has two carbon-oxygen bonds is nonpolar why?
The dipoles cancel because they point in opposite directions
What is the bond angle in carbon dioxide Why?
Carbon dioxide have a linear molecule.
Which compound has a larger bond angle - oxygen difluoride or carbon dioxide?
oxygen difluoride
What is the angle between two terminal atoms and the central atom?
Bond angle, in water the H-O-H angle is 105o, in carbon dioxide O=C=O angle is 180o.
Can plutonium bond with carbon dioxide?
Plutonium doesn't react with carbon dioxide at r.m.
What is the bond order for carbon dioxide?
double bond between carbon and each oxygen
What kind of bond does carbon dioxide make?
covalent bond
What is bonding angle in carbon dioxide?
I am not 100% sure about this, but I have found many reports that the CO2 compound has a bond angle of 180 degrees,and many chemistry sites support 180 degrees.
Can carbon dioxide attract carbon dioxide?
When carbon dioxide is a gas, the molecules repel each other. When carbon dioxide is a solid the molecules do attract each other, and bond in a crystalline structure.
What formula represents a linear molecule?
A molecule whose atoms are arranged so that the bond angle between each is 180°; an example is carbon dioxide, CO2.
What type of bonding is carbon dioxide?
the bonding of carbon and oxygen to form carbon dioxide, because they are both nonmetals would be a covalent bond
Is Carbon Dioxide a single double or a triple bond?
There are two oxygen double bonded to one carbon. DOUBLE BOND.
What is an example of a compound with a covalent bond?
carbon dioxide CO2
