The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds are linear, we will analyze each compound's hybridization and molecular geometry. ### Step 1: Analyze N₂O (Nitrous oxide) - **Structure**: N₂O can be represented as N≡N-O. - **Hybridization**: The central nitrogen (the one bonded to oxygen) is sp hybridized because it forms a triple bond with one nitrogen and a single bond with oxygen. - **Geometry**: Since it has two bonding pairs and no lone pairs on the central nitrogen, the molecular geometry is linear. ### Step 2: Analyze SO₂ (Sulfur dioxide) - **Structure**: SO₂ can be represented as O=S=O. - **Hybridization**: Sulfur in SO₂ is sp² hybridized because it has two double bonds with oxygen and one lone pair. - **Geometry**: The presence of a lone pair causes the molecular geometry to be bent, not linear. ### Step 3: Analyze I₃⁺ (Iodine triiodide cation) - **Structure**: I₃⁺ can be represented as I-I-I with one iodine atom at the center. - **Hybridization**: The central iodine has two bonding pairs and two lone pairs, giving it a steric number of 4, which corresponds to sp³ hybridization. - **Geometry**: The molecular shape is bent due to the presence of lone pairs, not linear. ### Step 4: Analyze I₃⁻ (Iodine triiodide anion) - **Structure**: I₃⁻ can also be represented as I-I-I with one iodine atom at the center. - **Hybridization**: The central iodine has two bonding pairs and three lone pairs, giving it a steric number of 5, which corresponds to sp³d hybridization. - **Geometry**: The three lone pairs occupy equatorial positions in a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement, leading to a linear molecular shape. ### Conclusion From the analysis, the linear species among the given compounds are: - **N₂O** - **I₃⁻** ### Final Answer The linear species are N₂O and I₃⁻.
