How would you describe geometric isomers?

Which of the following statements correctly describes geometric isomers? 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.


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.


What is the difference between molecular geometry and molecular structure?

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.


What is the molecular shape of formaldehyde molecule?

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


What is the molecular geometry of O3?

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.
