What is a linear compound

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

A linear compound is a molecule in which the atoms are arranged in a straight line. This means that the atoms are connected in a linear chain or backbone, with no branching or side groups attached. Linear compounds can be simple, such as those containing only two atoms joined by a single bond, or they can be more complex with multiple atoms connected in a linear arrangement. Examples of linear compounds include carbon dioxide (CO2), acetylene (C2H2), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN).
