Answer 1

It should be with extension chromedriver.exe

from selenium import webdriver 
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/home/derlinuxnutzer/PycharmProjects/pythonProject1/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')

Ensure that your path is correct by calling it from terminal using cd command
