Answer 2

Let us solve for it

Explanation:

Polarity

In homo-atomic molecules having same type of atoms are present .In them sharing of electrons occur the shared pair remain in the middle that is equal attraction by atoms towards shared pair.

• The hetro-atomic molecules (having different types of atoms in them) when sharing of electrons occur the shared pair do not lie in middle, it gets displaced towards more electronegative atom.

• So, it will acquire partial negative charge and other atom will acquire partial positive charge. Due to this the poles are developed and the bond formed is polar covalent bond.

Dipole moment:

Polarity is measured in terms of dipole moment .

In this dipole moment of carbon dioxide is zero because  (c) CO₂ is a linear molecule

 The dipole vectors cancel each other effect .
