No. A non-polar molecule is one that the electrons are distributed more symmetrically and thus does not have an abundance of charges at the opposite sides. Oxygen molecule O2 is formed with two of the same atom. The electrons are distributed more symmetrically. Therefore, O2 is a non-polar molecule. See more explanation at related link

∙ 14y agoOxygen isn't a molecule, it's an atom. O2 (two oxygen atoms) on the other hand is a molecule. Most oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form O2. O3 is known as ozone, that stuff that protects us from harmful rays. O2 is not polar because it is two of the same atoms. O3 is polar because the three molecules line up in a slightly triangular formation.

∙ 12y agono O2 is not a polar bond because of having zero electronegativity difference b/w bonded atoms i.e. o-o
electronegativity of O is 3.5

Is oxygen a polar or a nonpolar bond?
O2 , dioxygen has a non-polar covalent bond. With other elemnts, oxygen can form covalent bonds (generally polar) and ionic bonds as the O2- ion
What type of bond holds hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the molecule h2o?
The hydrogen and oxygen are held together by polar covalent bonds.
What type of bond present in isopropyl alcohol?
The hydrogen-oxygen and carbon-oxygen bonds are polar covalent bonds. In turn, these polar covalent bonds can lead to hydrogen bonds forming between ethanol molecules and some other molecules.
The bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule are classified as?
Within the molecule, the bonds are covalent bonds. Between water molecules, they're hydrogen bonds.
What is a polar bond but isn't a polar molecule?
The molecule of carbon dioxide is non-polar in nature. However, the carbon and oxygen bonds in it are polar in nature.
Is the bond between nitrogen and hydrogen polar or non-polar?
Oxygen is an element, not a bond. It will form polar bonds with most other elements, though because it is very electronegative. However, when it bonds with itself as in O2 the bonds are nonpolar.

Within the molecule, the bonds are covalent bonds. Between water molecules, they're hydrogen bonds.
Is water a non-polar solvent?
No, water is a polar solvent because of the polar oxygen-hydrogen bonds and the geometry of the compound.
In the compound H2O the electrons in the bonds are unequally shared between oxygen and hydrogen forming .?
polar bonds
What is a polar bond but isn't a polar molecule?
The molecule of carbon dioxide is non-polar in nature. However, the carbon and oxygen bonds in it are polar in nature.
What types of bonds hold together a water molecule?
Water has covalent bonds.The bonds between atoms in a water molecule are covalent bond, somewhat polar ones.
What bonds hold two oxygen together?
Non polar covalent bond.
What is polar in water?
oxygen and hydrogen hydrogen carries positive charge while oxygen carries negative charge.
Is covalent bond between an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom O-H polar?
yes. Bonds between a non-metal and a non-metal are covalent. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal are ionic.
