Since the hybridization of the central atom is usually the only factor needed to determine molecular shape, you can simplify by considering only the hybridization of the central atom. Using this simplified method, the OO atom of CO2CO2 would bond with one of its p or s orbitals. Use valence bond theory to devise a hybridization and bonding scheme for CO2CO2.

If a polyatomic ionic compound has gained two hydrogen ions, then how does its name begin?

Why is silver chloride is an ionic compound

Two people each hold the end of a rope and create waves by moving their arms up and down. this wave is best classified as a transverse wave because a) both the rope particles and the wave are moving in the same direction. b) the wave is moving up and down as the particles of the rope move horizontally. c) the wave is moving horizontally as the particles of the rope move up and down. eliminate d) the wave is moving in a parallel direction with the motion of the person's arms.
