Amongst the following, the number of species having the linear shape is

${XeF}_{2}, {I}_{3}^{+}, {C}_{3}{O}_{2}, {I}_{3}^{-}, {CO}_{2}, {SO}_{2}, {BeCl}_{2}$ and ${BCl}_{2}^{⊖}$

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

Using VSEPR theory, following are the shapes: Amongst the following, the number of species having the linear shape is XeF _ 2 , I _ 3 ^ + , C _ 3 O _ 2 , I _ 3 ^ - ,

Thus, ${XeF}_{2}, {C}_{3}{O}_{2}, {I}_{3}^{-}, {CO}_{2} \text{ and } {BeCl}_{2}$ have linear structure.
