Best Answer

It is polar. Due to a total of 18 electrons being shared between the three atoms with six valence electrons brought per atom, the potential lewis structures position the central O atom between the remaining two O atoms with a double bond between the central O and one of them and a non-bonding pair of electrons. This creates a 'bent' molecular geometry with a net dipole moment, equating to the structure being deemed as polar.

No, O3 is not a polar molecule. It is a nonpolar molecule.
