The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of linear molecules/ions among the given triatomic species where the hybridization of the central atom does not involve d-orbitals, we will analyze each molecule/ion one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecules/Ions**: The given species are: - BeCl₂ - N₃⁻ - N₂O - NO₂⁺ - O₃ - SCl₂ - ICl₂⁻ - I₃⁻ - XeF₂ 2. **Analyze Each Species**: - **BeCl₂**: Beryllium has an oxidation state of +2. It is sp hybridized and linear. **(Linear)** - **N₃⁻**: The azide ion has a linear structure and is sp hybridized. **(Linear)** - **N₂O**: The central nitrogen is sp hybridized, leading to a linear structure. **(Linear)** - **NO₂⁺**: The nitrogen is sp² hybridized, resulting in a bent structure. **(Not Linear)** - **O₃**: Ozone is sp² hybridized and has a bent structure. **(Not Linear)** - **SCl₂**: Sulfur is sp³ hybridized, resulting in a bent structure. **(Not Linear)** - **ICl₂⁻**: The iodine is sp³d hybridized, leading to a linear structure. **(Linear)** - **I₃⁻**: The iodine in the triiodide ion is linear and sp³d hybridized. **(Linear)** - **XeF₂**: Xenon is sp³d² hybridized, leading to a linear structure. **(Linear)** 3. **Count the Linear Molecules/Ions**: From the analysis: - Linear: BeCl₂, N₃⁻, N₂O, ICl₂⁻, I₃⁻, XeF₂ - Not Linear: NO₂⁺, O₃, SCl₂ 4. **Determine Contribution from d-Orbitals**: We need to ensure that the hybridization does not involve d-orbitals: - BeCl₂ (sp) - No d-orbital - N₃⁻ (sp) - No d-orbital - N₂O (sp) - No d-orbital - ICl₂⁻ (sp³d) - Involves d-orbital (not counted) - I₃⁻ (sp³d) - Involves d-orbital (not counted) - XeF₂ (sp³d²) - Involves d-orbital (not counted) 5. **Final Count**: The only linear molecules/ions without d-orbital contribution are: - BeCl₂ - N₃⁻ - N₂O Thus, the total number of linear molecules/ions where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contributions from the d-orbital is **3**. ### Final Answer: **3**

To determine the total number of linear molecules/ions among the given triatomic species where the hybridization of the central atom does not involve d-orbitals, we will analyze each molecule/ion one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecules/Ions**: The given species are: - BeCl₂ - N₃⁻ - N₂O ...
