Answer:

Linear geometry

Explanation:

In carbon dioxide, the carbon atom forms two double bonds. Each double bond is a group, hence there are two electron groups around the central atom.
With two bonding pairs on the central atom and no lone pairs, the molecular geometry of CO2 is linear.
The linear arrangement places the groups 180 degrees apart and it minimizes the repulsion in the molecule,

A prism refracts white light into rainbow colors because

gogolik [260]

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum. Water droplets in the air can act in a manner similar to that of a prism, separating the colors of sunlight to produce a spectrum known as a rainbow.
