Question

Among the triatomic molecules/ions,BeCl2,N3,N2O,NO2+,O3,SCl2,ICl2,I3and XeF2 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 ] 

Moderate
Solution

BeCl2,N3,N2O,NO2+,O3,SCl2,ICl2,I3,XeF2

BeCl2sp linear;                  N3sp linear N2Osp linear;                     NO2sp linear O3sp2 bent;                        SCl2sp3 bent I3sp3d linear;                     ICl2sp3d linear XeF2sp3d linear     

There are four (4) linear molecules/ions and no d- orbital is involved in hybridization.
