The molecular geometry of OF2 is the same as that of the more familiar compound, H2O. Both are not linear, you get an approximately 120o angle between bonds, rather than a 180o angle. That is because you are dealing with an octet of electrons in the outer shell, in the form of four paired electrons. Each pair occupies the corner of a tetrahedron. The electrons repel other electrons, so they must be as widely separated as they can be, while still being close to the nucleus that attracts them. Each fluorine atom is at the point of a tetrahedron, while the other two points contain electron pairs that the oxygen atom already had, before combining with the fluorine.

Why geometry of h2o is not linear whereas co2 is linear?
That is related to the relative positions of the orbitals involved.
What is a linear inch?
Linear inch is a measurement invented by the airlines. Measure your bag's length, width, and height in inches and add the three dimensions together to find how many 'linear' inches it measures.
What is molecule shape of OF2?
OF2 = Bent structure
How many valence electrons need to be accommodated in the Lewis structure for OF2?
20
Is OF2 Lewis acid?
The Lewis structure for OF2 is:.. .. ..:F-O-F:'' '' ''We know that this is the best structure because the formal charge on each atom is 0, and the overall charge of the molecule is 0. Even without formal charge calculations we can predict this structure because we know that Halogens, such as Fluorine, never form double bonds.
How many angles are there in the linear structure?
There are no angles in a linear structure. It is one line.

Is the secondary structure more polar than the linear amino acid sequence?
Protein tertiary structure is 3-D. Secondary structure is 2-D or linear. I. e. the linear a-a sequence is the secondary structure. Amino-acid monomers comprise the primary structure.
