Solution

The correct option is B $N O_{2}$ and $C l O_{2}$
Steric Number $(x)$ = $\frac{1}{2} (M + V - C + A)$ .
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) $C O_{2}$
$Steric Number (x) = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 0 - 0 + 0)$ .
$Steric Number (x) = 2$ .
Hybridisation = $s p$
Shape- linear

b) $N O_{2}$ has V-shaped structure.

c $C l O_{2}$ has V-shaped structure.

$X e F_{2}$ has linear structure.
