Isoelectronic species are those which have the same number of electrons.

\text { ONCl} and \text { ONO}^{-} have different number of electrons.

\text { ONCl } = 8+7+17=32 electron

\mathrm{ONO^-}=8+7+8+1=24 electron

 

\mathrm{O_3} is a bent-shaped molecule. The structure of Ozone is given as

And \mathrm{O_3} is diamagnetic gas and it exists as a pale blue gas, dark blue liquid and violet-black solid

Therefore, option (2) is correct.
