Question

Explain why co2 is nonpolar but h2o is polar class 11

Answer 1

Answer:

Co2 is non polar while H20 is polar. ... The difference in polarity is due to the symmetries of the molecules. Since CO2 is non polar and central atom has no lone pairs, it shows that both of the oxygen atoms are on opposite sides of carbon thereby cancelling the dipole moment and making the molecule linear.

Answer 2

Answer:

why H2O is polar but CO2 is nonpolar
