linear O=C=O
The molecule of carbon dioxide is linear: O=C=O.

Carbon dioxide is linear, with the carbon in the middle. If I remember my group theory properly, that's Dinfinityv. But no promises on that.

No, CO2 has a linear geometry while SO2 has a bent (angular) geometry. This is due to the difference in the number and arrangement of atoms around the central atom.
linear O=C=O
That is related to the relative positions of the orbitals involved.

CSe2, carbon dislenide, would have the same molecular geometry as CO2 (carbon dioxide), and that would be linear. Each carbon would be sp hybridized. Se=C=Se

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.

NH3 and H2O have a tetrahedral arrangement of all the electrons about the central atom. MgCl2 and CO2 have different arrangements: MgCl2 adopts a linear geometry due to Mg's +2 charge and Cl's -1 charge, while CO2 has a linear molecular geometry due to its linear molecule shape.
It is a linear molecule, carbon atom forms two double bonds at an angle of 180o O=C=O
