Electron Geometry of Carbon Monoxide

The video tutorial explains the electron geometry of carbon monoxide, starting with the Leis structure. It highlights that carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen, forming a linear structure with a bond angle of 180°. The video further discusses the molecular and electron geometry, both being linear due to the presence of lone pairs on opposite sides. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the linear geometry and bond angles of carbon monoxide.

What is the first step in determining the electron geometry of carbon monoxide?
