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.
a) ClF4- has a square planar geometry due to its five electron domains, with four bonding pairs and one lone pair. b) ClF4+ has a linear geometry with no lone pairs, resulting in a linear molecular shape. c) NO2- has a T-shaped geometry with three electron domains - one lone pair and two bonding pairs. d) BrF3 has a bent molecular geometry due to the presence of two lone pairs and two bonding pairs around the central atom. e) CO2 has a linear molecular geometry as it has two electron domains and no lone pairs around the central carbon atom.
CH3CFO has a total of 10 electron pairs. This includes 4 pairs from carbon (3 bonds and 1 non-bonding pair), 4 pairs from fluorine, and 2 pairs from oxygen.
Electron pairs
electron pairs move away from each other to more electrostatically balanced positions
The VSEPR theory, sometimes pronounced 'vesper', stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. It states that repulsion between the sets of electron bond pairs surrounding an atom in a compound causes these sets to be oriented as far apart as possible, giving the compound a certain shape. "Valence electron pairs will move as far apart from each other as possible."
The electron configuration of CO2 is 1s2 2s2 2p2.
The electron configuration for the Co2 ion is Ar 3d7.
The electron configuration of the Co2 ion is Ar 3d7.
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 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.
The electron configuration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

Lone electron pairs give the geometry a triangular base.
CH3CFO has a total of 10 electron pairs. This includes 4 pairs from carbon (3 bonds and 1 non-bonding pair), 4 pairs from fluorine, and 2 pairs from oxygen.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
Four electron groups - two bonded pairs and two lone pairs
