∙ 15y agoPicture a Mickey Mouse hat and you're close. Pull the ears down so they are on the sides and that's it. The carbon atom has an oxygen atom on either side of it so the three atoms are kind of "lined up" to make the molecule, and it is said to be linear. Wikipedia has a picture and more information.

What is the molecular orbital structure for carbon dioxide?
linear
What does co2 and o3 stand for?
CO2 is the molecular formula of carbon dioxide and O3 is the molecular formula of ozone.
What type of bond ionic or molecular and polar or non polar is sodium iodide and carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas?
Sodium iodide has ionic bonds, which are always polar. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas both have molecular (covalent) bonds; the ones in carbon dioxide are polar and those in elemental hydrogen molecules (H2) are nonpolar.
How many moles of carbon are there from the original sample of 11.0 grams of carbon dioxide and 4.50 grams of water with a combustion of 7.50 grams?
Look up the molecular weight of carbon dioxide in the periodic table. The formula for carbon dioxide is CO2, which means one atom of carbon and two atoms or oxygen per molecule of carbon dioxide. Carbon has molecular weight of 12. Oxygen molecular weight is 16. Total 12+16+16= 44 11 grams/44 grams/mole=0.25 moles of carbon The grams of water and combustion of 7.5 grams are totally irrelevant. They are only given to possibly confuse you.
What is an example of a binary molecular compound?
A binary molecular compound consists of two elements that are covalently bonded. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and methane (CH4).
What is molecular formula of carbon dioxide?
The molecular formula of carbon dioxide is CO2
Is carbon dioxide ionic or molecular?
Carbon dioxide is a covalent molecule.
What is the molecular shape and name for CO2?
a linear molecule, as it has two double bonds. one carbon in the center, with two oxygens on the edges. the molecular name isCO2, but is also known as carbon dioxide.
Is CO2 ionic or molecular?
Carbon dioxide is a molecule.
What is a substance with a linear molecular shape?
A good, common example would be carbon dioxide. In consists of a carbon atom with two oxygen atoms bonded on opposite sides.
What is the molecular orbital structure for carbon dioxide?
linear
The breakdown of carbon dioxide into elemental carbon and molecular oxygen is an example of what reaction?
The answer is combustion.
What is carbon dioxides chemical substance?
Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound with the formula CO2
What is Carbon Dioxide's Atomic Mass?
First of all, carbon dioxide is a molecule and hence the question should be: What is the molecular mass of carbon dioxide? and the answer is 12 + (2 x 16) = 48
What does co2 and o3 stand for?
CO2 is the molecular formula of carbon dioxide and O3 is the molecular formula of ozone.
What is the breakdown of carbon dioxide into element carbon and molecular oxygen is an example of what reaction?
This is a decomposition reaction.
What is the molecular structure of carbon?
O=C=O is the structure of Carbon Dioxide - planar and linear.
