The molecular shape of the thiocyanate ion( SCN-) is linear.
According to the VSEPR theory( Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory), the number of electron pairs present around the central atom determine the shape of a molecule or its molecular geometry.
The thiocyanate ion has a sulphur, carbon and nitrogen atom bonded to each other, with carbon being the central atom.
The number of bonded atoms is 2, and there are no lone pairs in this ion. Therefore, it has a linear molecular geometry.
