Among the triatomic molecules/ions, BeCl2,N3−,N2O,NO2+,O3,SCl2,ICl2−,I3−BeC{l}_{2}, {N}_{3}^{-}, {N}_{2}O, {NO}_{2}^{+}, {O}_{3}, SC{l}_{2}, {ICl}_{2}^{-}, {I}_{3}^{-} and XeF2Xe{F}_{2} , the total number of linear molecule(s)/ion(s) where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contribution from the d-orbital(s) is
[Atomic number: S = 16, Cl = 17, I = 53 and Xe = 54]

Correct answer

4

Step-by-step solution

BeCl2,N3−,N2O,NO2+{BeCl}_{2} , {{N}_{3}}^{-}, {N}_{2}O, {{NO}_{2}}^{+} is the linear molecule where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contribution from the d−d -orbital.

In the remaining molecules/ions,O3{O}_{3} is bent, SCl2{SCl}_{2} is V shaped with sp3{sp}^{3}hybridization,ICl2−,I3−{{ICl}_{2}}^{-}, {{I}_{3}}^{-} and XeF2{XeF}_{2}, are linear with sp3d{sp}^{3}d hybridization.
