Answer:

The electron-domain geometry is linear. The molecular geometry is linear.

Explanation:

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR), the shape of a molecule depends on the arrangement of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule. Electron pairs are arranged in such a way as to minimize repulsion between them. The electron pairs are positioned as far apart in space as possible.

In CS2, both the molecular and electron pair geometries are linear because the electron pairs and bonding groups are positioned at an angle of 180° from each other. Hence the answer.
