  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{TeO}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SiO}_2,\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CO}_2,\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{TeO}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CO}_2,\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) and \(\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}\), the central atom are \(s p\)-hybridised. Hence, they have linear structure. Thus, correct option is (3).
