Molecular Structure with 180 Degree Bond Angle

This diagram offers a clear illustration of a molecular structure arranged in a linear fashion. It features two conjoined grey elliptical shapes, with a red line running horizontally through their centers, signifying a straight, unbranched axis. Above this arrangement, a grey arc precisely indicates a 180-degree angle, a key characteristic of linear molecular geometry. This type of arrangement is commonly observed in molecules where the central atom undergoes sp hybridization, like carbon dioxide or acetylene, demonstrating the spatial orientation of atoms in such chemical compounds.
