Which lewis structures represent a molecule that would assume a linear geometry? check all that apply.

Explanation:

There are a few examples of different type of molecules that have a linear geometry:

1) Diatomic molecules

Diatomic molecules always have a linear geomerty given that its their only possiblility.

Some examples are: Oxygen (O2), Nitrogen (N2), Fluorine (F2), Choridic acid (HCl).

2) Triatomic molecules with no lone pair electrons

In this case, the absence of lone pair electrons keeps a linear geometry in molecules such a carbon dioxide (CO2).

If the molecule would have this electrons the repulsion generated between them and the electrons from the atomic bonds would create an angular geometry.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
