CO2 is iso-structural with:
Correct answer: C. CS2
- A. H2S
- B. SO2
- C. CS2
- D. SnC2
Explanation
CO2 is isoelectronic (having the same number of electrons) and isostructural (having the same molecular geometry) with CS2 (Carbon Disulfide). Both CO2 and CS2 have linear molecular geometries due to the arrangement of their atoms and the absence of lone pairs.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
