(3)
It has sp hybridised central atom. Hence it is linear in shape.
(triiodide):
It has linear geometry, sp 3 d hybridisation with three lone pairs at central atom.
(nitrite):
It is (nonlinear) bent shaped as it has sp 2 hybridisation with one lone pair at central atom.
O 3 (ozone):
It Is bent in shape with sp 2 hybridisation and one lone pair at central atom.
SO 2 (sulphur dioxide):
It is bent in shape with sp 2 hybridisation and one lone pair at central atom.
