Use the OLD formal pπ–dπ teaching label for a donor O attached by a formal multiple bond to a third-period centre; do not infer literal d participation. Count qualifying entries: SO₂, SO₂Cl₂, POCl₃, B(OH)₃, CO₂, NO₃⁻.

Answer:
3
Solution:

SO₂, SO₂Cl₂ and POCl₃ receive the historical S=O/P=O label. B, C, N are second-period centres. Count 3; modern descriptions do not require that old orbital picture.
