The number of bent-shaped molecule/s from the following is ______ N 3 - , NO 2 - , I 3 - , O 3 , SO 2

Step-by-step solution

N 3 - Azide :   N ¯ = N + = N ¯ ↔ N ¯ - N + ≡ N It has sp hybridised central atom. Hence it is linear in shape. I 3 - (triiodide): It has linear geometry, sp 3 d hybridisation with three lone pairs at central atom. NO 2 - (nitrite) : It is (nonlinear) bent shaped as it has sp 2 hybridisation with one lone pair at central atom. O 3 (ozone) : It Is bent in shape with sp 2 hybridisation and one lone pair at central atom. SO 2 (sulphur dioxide) : It is bent in shape with sp 2 hybridisati
