Molecular Geometry and Polarity
A | B |
---|---|
What is the shape and polarity of O2? | linear, nonpolar |
What is the shape and polarity of PH3? | trigonal pyramidal, nonpolar |
What is the shape and polarity of HClO? | bent, polar |
What is the shape and polarity of N2? | linear, nonpolar |
Similarly, it is asked, what is the molecular geometry of n2?
Therefore, the molecular geometry for this molecule will be linear, with a bond angle of about 180∘ .
Nitrogen is a linear molecule. Every molecule that is made of two atoms has linear shape.
