Amongst the following, the molecule/ion that is linear is CO₂
- Carbon di oxide (CO2) molecule has a linear structure
- O=C=O this is the structure of CO2 molecule
- SO2 has a bent structure
- ClO2- also has a bent structure
- NO2- also has a bent structure
- clearly, out of the given compounds, only CO2 has a linear structure
- so option (b) is the correct option
