Answer:
here it is your answer
Explanation:
Oxygen is more electronegative than Carbon and the Carbon-Oxygen bond is very polar, however, if we draw the dipole moment from the partially positive Carbon atom to the partially negative Oxygen atom, you'll notice they cancel out. This cancellation gives CO2 a net dipole moment of zero, therefore making it non-polar.
