Which is correct for the location of $π$ -bond(s) in $CO_{2}$ :-

Answer:

Solution:

CO₂ is linear (O=C=O) and C is sp hybridised.

There are two π-bonds, formed by sidewise overlap of p-orbitals (px and py) of C with O atoms in two perpendicular planes.

Correct diagram must show two mutually perpendicular π-clouds over both C–O bonds.
