How can you describe the molecule CO2 in terms of polarity?

A polar molecule made from polar covalent bonds

A non-polar molecule made from polar covalent bonds

A non-polar molecule made from nonpolar covalent bonds

A polar molecule made from nonpolar covalent bonds

Expert Solution

the structure of CO2 is:

O=C=O

the C=O bond is polar due to electronegativity difference between C and O

But the overall molecule is non polar due to symmetry.
