Among the triatomic molecules/ions,BeCl2, N3-, N2O, NO2+, O3,SCl2, ICl2-, I3-andXeF2, the total number of linear molecule(s)/ion(s) where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contribution from the d-orbital(s) is
[Atomic number: S = 16, Cl = 17, I = 53 and Xe = 54]

Answer:
4.00
Solution:

 BeCl2, N3-, N2O, NO2+ is the linear molecule where the hybridization of the central atom does not have contribution from the d-orbital. 

In the remaining molecules/ions,O3 ​ is bent, SCl2​ is V shaped with sp3 hybridization, ICl2, I3- and XeF2​, are linear with sp3d hybridization.
