The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of linear molecules or ions among the given list, where the hybridization of the central atom does not involve d-orbitals, we will analyze each molecule/ion step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze BeCl₂ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Beryllium (Be) has 2 valence electrons. - Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, and there are 2 Cl atoms. - Total = 2 + 2(7) = 16 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 16, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 0. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 0. - Hybridization = sp. - **Shape**: Linear. ### Step 2: Analyze N₃⁻ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, and there are 3 N atoms. - Extra negative charge adds 1 electron. - Total = 3(5) + 1 = 16 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 16, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 0. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 0. - Hybridization = sp. - **Shape**: Linear. ### Step 3: Analyze N₂O - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, and there are 2 N atoms and 1 O atom. - Total = 2(5) + 6 = 16 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 16, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 0. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 0. - Hybridization = sp. - **Shape**: Linear. ### Step 4: Analyze NO₂⁺ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and there are 2 O atoms. - Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, and we subtract 1 for the positive charge. - Total = 2(6) + 5 - 1 = 16 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 16, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 0. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 0. - Hybridization = sp. - **Shape**: Linear. ### Step 5: Analyze O₃ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons, and there are 3 O atoms. - Total = 3(6) = 18 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 18, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 2. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 1. - Hybridization = sp². - **Shape**: Bent (not linear). ### Step 6: Analyze SCl₂ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Sulfur (S) has 6 valence electrons, and there are 2 Cl atoms. - Total = 6 + 2(7) = 20 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 20, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 4. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 2. - Hybridization = sp³. - **Shape**: Bent (not linear). ### Step 7: Analyze ICl₂⁻ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Iodine (I) has 7 valence electrons, and there are 2 Cl atoms plus an extra electron for the negative charge. - Total = 7 + 2(7) + 1 = 22 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 22, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 6. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 3. - Hybridization = sp³d. - **Shape**: Linear, but hybridization includes d-orbitals (not required). ### Step 8: Analyze I₃⁻ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Total = 3(7) + 1 = 22 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 22, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 6. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 3. - Hybridization = sp³d. - **Shape**: Linear, but hybridization includes d-orbitals (not required). ### Step 9: Analyze XeF₂ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Xenon (Xe) has 8 valence electrons, and there are 2 F atoms. - Total = 8 + 2(7) = 22 valence electrons. - **Determine Hybridization**: - V = 22, V/8 = 2 (quotient), remainder = 6. - Bond pairs = 2, Lone pairs = 3. - Hybridization = sp³d. - **Shape**: Linear, but hybridization includes d-orbitals (not required). ### Summary of Linear Molecules/Ions The linear molecules/ions that do not involve d-orbitals in hybridization are: 1. BeCl₂ 2. N₃⁻ 3. N₂O 4. NO₂⁺ **Total Count**: 4 ### Final Answer The total number of linear molecules/ions where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contribution from the d-orbitals is **4**.

To determine the total number of linear molecules or ions among the given list, where the hybridization of the central atom does not involve d-orbitals, we will analyze each molecule/ion step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze BeCl₂ - **Valence Electrons Calculation**: - Beryllium (Be) has 2 valence electrons. - Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, and there are 2 Cl atoms. - Total = 2 + 2(7) = 16 valence electrons. ...
