Question

Explain why co2 is non polar and r-o-r is polar for 2

Answer 1

CO _{ 2 } is a linear molecule. ... Hence, they cancel each other so, the dipole moment of CO _{ 2 } is zero and it is a non-polar molecule. While for ethers, two dipoles are pointing in the same direction. These two dipoles do not cancel the effect of each other.
