Solution

Among the triatomic molecules/ions, BeCl2, N3, N2O, NO+2, O3, SCl2, ICl2, I3 and XeF2, 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 4.
These include BeCl2, N3, N2O, NO+2.
In the remaining molecules/ions, O3 is bent, SCl2 is V shaped with sp3 hybridization, ICl2, I3 and XeF2, are linear with sp3d hybridization.
