Answer:
Carbon dioxide is a linear covalent molecule.
Carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide and reacts with water to give carbonic acid.
CO 2 + H2O ==> H2CO3
Carbon dioxide reacts with alkalis to give carbonates and bicarbonates.
CO 2 + NaOH ==> NaHCO3 (Sodium BiCarbonate )
NaHCO3 + NaOH ==> Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate) + H2O
