Step-by-step solution

For I ₃^- , the central iodine atom has 2 bond pairs and 3 lone pairs. Its hybridization is sp^3d and the shape is linear. For I ₃^+ , the central iodine atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. Its hybridization is sp^3 and the shape is bent. ClO ₂ is an odd-electron molecule. The central chlorine atom has 2 bond pairs, 1 lone pair, and 1 odd electron. Its shape is bent. For N ₃^- , the central nitrogen atom has 2 sigma bonds and 0 lone pairs. Its hybridization is sp and the shape is linear. Therefore, the correct
