Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule and any charges on the oxygens cancel each other out. emember vectors?
Water is not linear the bent shape means that the charges on the H atoms do no cancel each other.
Dipole moment of CO2 molecule is zero,becoz it is linear molecule,whereas SO2 is angular molecule having dipole moment 1.61 D....:)
NH3 is polar compound.So dipole moment is not zero.
SO2 is bent shaped and has a net dipole moment.
Carbon dioxide has a zero dipole moment. The C=O bonds are polar, but because the molecule is linear, the polarities cancel one another and the molecule has a zero dipole moment. Click on the related link for an illustration of the carbon dioxide molecule showing its dipole moment.
Zero Dipole would set itself such that dipole moment vector is along the electric field vector

Electro negativity difference is zero.So dipole moment is zero.
Carbonate (CO3 2-) is trigonal planar with a central C and three O's 120 degrees from each other (D3h symmetry). All the O's have the same electron density because of resonance. This gives carbonate no dipole.
The dipole moment is zero in nonpolar molecules and non-zero in polar molecules due to electronegativity. Polar molecules have balanced electronegativity that will cancel one another out, while nonpolar molecules have unbalanced electronegativity causing dipole moments.
It is a symmetrical tetrahedral molecule so has zero dipole moment.
SO2 is bent shaped and has a net dipole moment.

Yes, it is true.

zero because it is symmetrical molecule
