Answer:

Linear geometry

Explanation:

  • In carbon dioxide, the carbon atom forms two double bonds. Each double bond is a group, hence there are two electron groups around the central atom.
  • With two bonding pairs on the central atom and no lone pairs, the molecular geometry of CO2 is linear.
  • The linear arrangement places the groups 180 degrees apart and it minimizes the repulsion in the molecule,
