Polar, the molecular structure of SO2 is basically identical with that of water. Both are polar due to the angle between the bonds.

Is SO2 covalent or nonpolar covalent?
Sulfur dioxide is a polar molecules with polar covalent bonds.
Is sulfur a non polar covalent molecule?
yes
What type of bond does carbon dioxide have?
Carbon dioxide has polar molecular bonds. However, in overall, it is a non polar, linear molecule.
Carbon dioxide is a non polar molecule true or false?
True, it is non polar.
Which substance has polar covalent bonds SO2 Cl2 N2 or CaO?
Molecular substances can have both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.
Why is sulfur dioxide polar and carbon dioxide non-polar when both have polar covalent bond?
Sulfur dioxide O - S - 0 has two valence pairs on one side of the sulfur, so the oxygens are bent downwards, making it a polar molecule (the bends make it asymmetric) Meanwhile, Carbon dioxide, O=C=O has only double bonds around the central atom, no unbonded pairs, so it is a linear, and therefore non-polar molecule. (It is symmetric)
Is corbon dioxide polar or non-polar?
Carbon dioxide is a non-polar molecule containing polar covalent bonds in its atoms.
Is SO2 covalent or nonpolar covalent?
Sulfur dioxide is a polar molecules with polar covalent bonds.
Is sulfur a non polar covalent molecule?
yes
What type of bond does carbon dioxide have?
Carbon dioxide has polar molecular bonds. However, in overall, it is a non polar, linear molecule.
Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
Carbon dioxide is a non polar molecule true or false?
True, it is non polar.
Is a carbon dioxide molecule polar or nonpolar?
non-polar molecule
Is SO2 a non metal?
Yes, SO2 (sulfur dioxide) is a gaseous binary compound consisting of 1 sulfur atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms. The molecule is a bent-shaped dipole.
Which substance has polar covalent bonds SO2 Cl2 N2 or CaO?
Molecular substances can have both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.
Is disulfur dinitride ionic or molecular?
Sulfur dibromide is a bent molecule. In general bent molecules are polar. The situation is a bit complex with SBr2 - when looking at each S-Br bond the difference in electronegativity is small. Bromine is slightly more electronegative than sulfur - so you can think of this bond as either non-polar covalent OR slightly polar. If you draw a vector in the direction of the partial charges (dipoles going from sulfur - to bromine) there will be a very slight polarity. The polarity is very small and since S-Br bonds are typically considered non-polar, many people classify SBr2 as a non-polar molecule since the dipole is very small.
Name a non-polar covalent molecule having polar bonds?
carbon dioxide
