Answer:
Why then is carbon dioxide a nonpolar molecule while water is a polar molecule? Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule because its atoms equally share the electrons. Water is polar because its atoms share the electrons unequally.
Explanation:
Oxygen and Carbon dioxide molecules are non polar.
Non-polarity is defined as molecules in which the bonds are equal. This is
as a result of the electrons being shared equally.
In the case of Oxygen molecules, the electrons are equally distributed
between the two oxygen atoms which is a feature of a non polar
substance.
Carbon dioxide have dipoles which cancel each other out thereby
resulting in an equal distribution of electrons.
