The Carbon has double bonds to each of the oxygen atoms, so it does not have any unshared pairs or electrons. Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory dictates that the electron pairs will be repel, so the farthest apart they can be is 180 degrees apart or linear.

Linear
H2O, with a bond angle of 104.5 degrees due to its three areas of electron density.
linear O=C=O
a linear molecule, as it has two double bonds. one carbon in the center, with two oxygens on the edges. the molecular name isCO2, but is also known as carbon dioxide.
In a water molecule, there are two lone pairs of electrons connected to the oxygen. The lone pairs push the hydrogen atoms, creating a bent shape. In CO2, however, there are two double bonds and no lone electrons on the central atom, hence the molecule has a linear shape.
No, the geometry of CO2 is linear while the geometry of SO2 is bent.
no
NO2. The molecule is bent so the bond dipoles do not cancel, whereas in CO2 which is linear they do.
Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule and any charges on the oxygens cancel each other out. emember vectors? Water is not linear the bent shape means that the charges on the H atoms do no cancel each other.

WATER has 2 lone pairs so its HYBRIDIZATION comes out to be sp3so the shape is v-shape or bent shape
no
Linear
They are covalent bonds In water it is a bent single bond between the hydrogen and oxygen In CO2 it is a linear molecule with covalent double bonds :D
H2O, with a bond angle of 104.5 degrees due to its three areas of electron density.
HF is polar and linear. But CO2 is nonpolar because it is linear. It has two equally polar bond pulling electrons in opposite directions and cancel each other out.
