There are four species `CO_(2),N_(3) Θ,NO_(2)^(o+)` and `I_(3)^(Θ)` Which of the following statement is correct about these species ? .

Options

A. All are linear and having sp hybridisation central atoms .
B. All are linear but only `CO_(2),N_(3)^(Θ)` and `I_(3)^(Θ)` have sp hybridisation on their central atom .
C. All are linear but only `CO_(2),N_(3)^(Θ)` and `overset(o+)NO_(2)` have sp hybridisation on their cental atom .
D. `CO_(2),N_(3)^(Θ)` and `NO_(3)^(o+)` are linear but `I_(3)^(Θ)` is not .

Answer

C

Explanation

`CO_(2),N_(3)^(Theta),NO_(2)^(o+)` are sp hybridised and linear `I_(3)^(Theta)` is `sp^(3)` d hybridised and also linear .
