Solution
The correct option is BNO2 and ClO2 Steric Number (x) = 12(M+V−C+A). where, M = number of monovalent surrounding atoms V = number of valence electrons on the central atom C = charge (with sign) A=charge on anion a) CO2 Steric Number (x)=12(4+0−0+0). Steric Number (x)=2. Hybridisation =sp Shape- linear b) NO2 has V-shaped structure.
c ClO2 has V-shaped structure. XeF2 has linear structure.
