    Linear geometry

    Explanation:

    In carbon dioxide, the carbon atom forms two double bonds. Each double bond is a group, hence there are two electron groups around the central atom. With two bonding pairs on the central atom and no lone pairs, the molecular geometry of CO2 is linear. The linear arrangement places the groups 180 degrees apart and it minimizes the repulsion in the molecule,
