Interpretation: Comprehend the molecules with same shape in the below listed molecules:
Cl2, CO2 and H2O
Concept Introduction: The Lewis structure of an organic compound represents the bonding of atoms with lone pairs (if any). It indicates the bonds with atoms and also arrangement of atoms in molecule.
Hybridization of any atom indicates the molecular geometry of molecule. The formula to check the hybridization can be written as:
Hybridization = Number of sigma bonds + Number of lone pair
The molecular geometry of molecules with lone pair on central atom is given by VSEPR theory.

Answer to Problem 4E
Cl2and CO2 have linear shape.
Explanation of Solution
For Lewis structure of CO2 molecule, calculate total number of valence electrons:
CO2 molecule = 4 electrons in C + 6 x 2 valence electrons in O = 16 electrons
For Lewis structure of H2O molecule, calculate total number of valence electrons:
H2O molecule = 6 electrons in O+ 1 x 2 valence electrons in H = 8 electrons
For Lewis structure of Cl2 molecule, calculate total number of valence electrons:
Cl2 molecule = 7 electrons in Cl x 2 = 14 electrons
