CO2 has polar bonds but is a NON POLAR molecule. Why?
it has an asymmetrical shape
bond polarity or dipole moment between C and O atoms cancel
there is net dipole moment between C and O atoms in molecule
bond polarity does not exist between C+ and O- atoms
Is this molecule polar or nonpolar? REMEMBER: This is a lewis structure, NOT A VSEPR STRUCTURE. Think about its VSEPR first!

a. dipole forces
b. dipole moment
c. dispersion forces
d. instantaneous dipole
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an example of a non-polar molecule due to its linear molecular geometry and symmetrical distribution of polar bonds, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. Which of the following is the structure of a non-polar molecule?
