Question

Which of the following is a linear molecule?
  1. H2O
  2. H2O2
  3. D2O
  4. N2O

A
H2O
B
H2O2
C
D2O
D
N2O
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The shape of various molecules are given below:

H2O has a tetrahedral shape due to two OH bonds and two lone pair of electrons on oxygen.

H2O2 is bent-shaped.

D2O also has a tetrahedral shape. D is an isotope of hydrogen.

N2O is linear-shaped because lone pairs present in it is delocalised due to resonance of electrons.

Hence, the linear molecule is N2O.
