Note [Deprecated. The linear element defines the value of a param element at a particular time, relative to the start of the transition or effect that contains the param element. The linear element causes the parameter to make a smooth transition from its previous value to the new value. For an instantaneous jump to a new value, use the at element. Attributes.
A linear electron geometry involves a central atom with two pairs of bonding electrons at an angle of 180 degrees. The only possible molecular shape for a linear electron geometry is linear and is three atoms in a straight line. An example of a molecule with a linear molecular shape is carbon dioxide, CO2.
