The molecule that has linear structure is/are

A
${CO}_{2}$
B
${NO}_{2}^{+}$
C
${SO}_{2}$
D
${XeF}_{2}$

Solution:

${CO}_{2} and {NO}_{2}^{+}$ with sp hybridization are linear.
XeF₂ has sp³d hybridization on Xe atom with a linear shape.
It acquires such shape as fivelone pairs present around the central atom(Xe) undergo repulsions leading to a bond angle of 180°.
On the other hand, ${SO}_{2} ({sp}^{2} hybridization)$ has bent shape.
