Question

The angle between two paired electrons is 180degrees in a covalent bond.Then what is the shape of molecule​

Answer 1

Using VSEPR theory, we predict that the two regions of electron density arrange themselves on opposite sides of the central atom with a bond angle of 180°. The electron-pair geometry and molecular structure are identical, and CO2 molecules are linear.

Answer 2

The shape of the molecule will be linear.

1. In absence of any unshared electrons, if the bond angle is 180°, the geometry of molecule will be linear.
2. In such case, the polarity will cancel due to the opposite direction and hence the molecule will become non polar.
3. Common example of such molecule is carbon dioxide.
4. Octahedral shape has four pair of 180° bonds.
