Given information

Here, we are given with the atom   and we have determine the molecular geometry of the atom.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The interior atom in  molecule is a carbon atom. there are  carbon atoms but both are equivalent since each carbon atom is bonded to the same number of the hydrogen atom.

carbon has atomic number and thus its electronic configuration is that is valence electron.

electron form single bond with hydrogen and carbon atom, remaining  electron form double bond with the carbon atom

hence has hybridisation and linear molecular geometry.
