Best Answer

To determine polarity first you check the polarity then the molecular geometry.

CCl, is polar because of the difference in electronegativity between C and Cl and is polar

However, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), is planar, so the electrons are evenly distributed and the molecule is nonpolar

a carbon dioxide bond would be very slightly polar due to the differences in electronegitivity between the two atoms, but not as much as water
