The molecule CO2 is arranged in a linear molecular geometry. TRUE FALSE

I would say true because the Valence Shell Electron Pairs will Repel each other. When they do they are forced to the opposite side of the Carbon atom giving CO2 a linear molecular shape. The CO2 bond angle will be 180 degrees since it has a linear molecular geometry.

sorry if im wrong
