Is CO2 a tetrahedral

Answer 1

Yes carbon tetrachloride is tetrahedral because the base atom carbon has to have 8 valence electrons and sharing with the 4 chlorine atoms giving the carbon 8 valence electrons and so far each chlorine atom has two but all together there has to be 32 valence electrons and so surrounding 6 to each chlorine atom that already has two gives you 32 because 8×4=32

Answer 2

Yes. A carbon atom with four monovalent atoms can form 4 covalent bonds and this will usually form a tetrahedral molecules. If the other atoms are all of the same element then the molecule will be a regular tetrahedron.

Answer 3

No. The two oxygen atoms each have a double bond on opposite sides of the carbon atom and form a straight line.

Answer 4

Carbon dioxide hasn't not a tetrahedral molecule; this molecule is linear.

Answer 5

No

Answer 6

Yes.
