Their atoms and bonds are arranged in different sequences.They have different molecular formulas.They have the same chemical properties.They have variations in arrangement around a double bond.They have an asymmetric carbon that makes them mirror images.
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.
Molecular geometry is the distances and angles between the each of the different atoms in the molecule. It is essentially the shape of the molecule.Molecular structure includes the shape of the molecule, but also much more, such as its electronic structure. This includes the nature of the bonding in the molecule (such as where there are single, double or triple bonds), the polarity of the molecule (if the electrons are spread out evenly throughout the molecule or if they are concentrated in particular areas, and if so, what areas), etc.
formaldehyde is a trigonal planar with non-ideal H-C-H bond angle, that looks something like this: H \ C=O / H where / and \ are single bonds and = is a double bond
linear, o-o-o **************2nd Opinion ************* Nope, it's bent. VSEPR theory predicts a double bond, a single bond, and a lone pair on the central oxygen atom. You can't really get linear out of that.
In predicting molecular geometries, unshared electron pairs and double bonds influence the overall shape of a molecule. Unshared electron pairs tend to repel bonding pairs, causing distortions in the molecular geometry. Double bonds restrict rotation around the bond axis, affecting the spatial arrangement of the surrounding atoms and leading to a fixed geometry for the molecule.
Factors that affect the shape of a molecule include the number of bonded atoms and lone pairs on the central atom, the presence of double or triple bonds, and the repulsion between electron pairs. These factors determine the molecular geometry and bond angles of a molecule.
The molecular shape for CH2=CH2 (ethene) is trigonal planar, with a bond angle of 120 degrees. The carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized, resulting in the planar geometry.
Just Double
A scientist who studies DNA double helix is called a molecular geneticist or a geneticist specializing in molecular biology.
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only single bonds between carbon atoms, while alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one carbon-carbon double bond. This difference in bonding results in distinct physical and chemical properties between the two types of compounds, with alkanes being more stable and less reactive compared to alkenes.
This is a linear molecule.

Molecular formulae that must contain a double bond in order to satisfy the octet rule are those of compounds like O2, HCN, and CO2.
Carbon with oxygen.

The molecular formula for dry ice is CO2. Its structure is approximated by a 120o angle, with 2 double bonds connecting each oxygen molecule to the carbon molecule.
