(D) To determine the geometry of the molecules,we analyze their structures:$1$. $XeF_2$: The central atom $Xe$ has $2$ bond pairs and $3$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$2$. $NO_2$: The central atom $N$ has $1$ odd electron and $2$ bond pairs,resulting in a bent (non-linear) geometry.$3$. $HCN$: The central atom $C$ has $2$ bond pairs and no lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$4$. $ClO_2$: The central atom $Cl$ has $2$ bond pairs and $1$ lone pair,resulting in a bent (non-linear) geometry.$5$. $CO_2$: The central atom $C$ has $2$ bond pairs and no lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.Thus,the non-linear molecules are $NO_2$ and $ClO_2$.
