Among the triatomic molecules/ions, B e C l 2 ,   N 3 - ,   N 2 O ,   N O 2 + ,   O 3 ,…
[Atomic number: S = 16, Cl = 17, I = 53 and Xe = 54]
Solution
is the linear molecule where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contribution from the orbital.
In the remaining molecules/ions, is bent, is V shaped with hybridization, and , are linear with hybridization.
