All molecules that only contain two atoms are necessarily linear (a single strait line will always connect two points). H2, O2, N2, CO Carbon dioxide is also a classic example of a linear molecule. Although in this case the linearity is due to the two double bonds. O=C=C
Carbon dioxide O=C=O, ethyne H-C(triple bonded)C-H, propadiene H2-C=C=C-H2
linear
This is a linear molecule.
The shape of CS2 is considered linear. This is because both sulfur molecules are attached to the one carbon molecule using double bonds in a straight line.
PH3 forms a trigonal pyramid ClO4- forms a perfectly regular trigonal pyramid, known as a tetrahedron BeCl2 ~APEX
linear
For example nitric oxide (NO) and beryllium hydride (BeH2) have linear molecules.
BeCl2
The ClF2+ ion is bent. (The VSEPR AXE notation is AX2E2 ). The ClF2- ion (AX2E3) is linear.
Hydrogen cyanide is a hydrogen bonded to a complex ion, cyanide (CN-). The hydrogen is single bonded to the cyanide ion, which is a carbon triple bonded to a nitrogen atom. See the link below for a good representation of this molecule.
HCN has a linear molecule.

This is a linear molecule.
The hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecule has a bent shape.
The shape of CS2 is considered linear. This is because both sulfur molecules are attached to the one carbon molecule using double bonds in a straight line.

No,it is not linear.It is bent in shape.
