Question

Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

CO₂ has sp hybridized carbon, forming two double bonds with oxygen in a linear arrangement (O=C=O) with bond angle 180°. H₂O is bent (angular, 104.5°), NH₃ is trigonal pyramidal (107°), CH₄ is tetrahedral (109.5°). Molecular shape is determined by VSEPR theory: CO₂ has 2 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs → linear.
