Two oxygen atoms each form double covalent bonds with the carbon atom which is between them.
Because H2O has electron pairs on the O atom which repel the H atoms more and change it's shape. Their electromagnetic repulsion is stronger than a lone electron and they push the H atoms away
CO2 is in a linear shape because it has a linear molecular geometry with the carbon atom at the center and two oxygen atoms on either side. The arrangement of the atoms and lone pairs around the central carbon atom leads to a linear shape due to the repulsion between the electron pairs.
The CO2 molecule is linear. The central carbon atom forms a double bond with each oxygen atom. For an illustration, go to the related link below.
In one molecule of CO2, there is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
The formula for carbon dioxide is CO2, which indicates that it contains 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen.

No, the geometry of CO2 is linear while the geometry of SO2 is bent.
Carbon dioxide is a molecule, not an atom.

2 electron groups are in CO2. Proof, I got it wrong on a quiz. :(
In one molecule of CO2, there is one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
There are two elements in CO2, carbon and oxygen.
A CO2 molecule consists of 3 atoms: 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms.
A single molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, for a total of three atoms per molecule.
Carbon and oxygen make up CO2, Oxygen and Hydrogen make up water.
The central carbon atom in CO2 has a hybridization of sp2. This means that the carbon atom uses one s orbital and two p orbitals to form three sp2 hybrid orbitals for bonding.
