Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a polar molecule,thus containing polar covalent bond. This is because of the difference in electronegativities of its two atoms (C and O). The electronegativity of oxygen (3.5) is higher than that of carbon (2.5). As a result, there is unequal distribution of electronic cloud between two atoms. the shared electron pairs will be much closer to oxygen atoms than carbon.

What else can I help you with?
Can carbon only form polar covalent bonds?
No, carbon can form both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds. The type of bond formed depends on the electronegativity of the atoms involved. If two carbon atoms are bonding, it is typically a nonpolar covalent bond.
What compound contains a non polar covalent bond?
One example of a compound containing a nonpolar covalent bond is carbon dioxide (CO2). In this molecule, the carbon atom shares electrons with two oxygen atoms in a way that the electron density is symmetrical, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.
Which of these best describes why the carbon dioxide molecule is not polar?
The carbon dioxide molecule is nonpolar because it has a linear geometry with symmetrical distribution of its polar covalent bonds (between carbon and oxygen), resulting in the dipoles canceling out. This leads to a net dipole moment of zero, making the molecule nonpolar overall.
Is carbon ionic or polar covalent or non polar?
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
Is Carbon-Chlorine a nonpolar covalent bond?
No. A carbon-chlorine bond is a polar covalent bond.
Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
What type of bond ionic or molecular and polar or non polar is sodium iodide and carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas?
Sodium iodide has ionic bonds, which are always polar. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas both have molecular (covalent) bonds; the ones in carbon dioxide are polar and those in elemental hydrogen molecules (H2) are nonpolar.
Is a carbon dioxide molecule polar or nonpolar?
non-polar molecule
Can carbon only form polar covalent bonds?
No, carbon can form both polar and nonpolar covalent bonds. The type of bond formed depends on the electronegativity of the atoms involved. If two carbon atoms are bonding, it is typically a nonpolar covalent bond.

Is silicon dioxide soluble in non polar benzene?
No, silicon dioxide forms a network covalent structure, and so doesn't dissolve in anything:

Is corbon dioxide polar or non-polar?
Carbon dioxide is a non-polar molecule containing polar covalent bonds in its atoms.
Is Carbon-Chlorine a nonpolar covalent bond?
No. A carbon-chlorine bond is a polar covalent bond.
Name a non-polar covalent molecule having polar bonds?
carbon dioxide
Is CCl4 nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?
CCl4 is a nonpolar covalent molecule. This is because the electronegativity difference between carbon and chlorine is not sufficient enough to create a dipole moment in the molecule. As a result, the electron distribution in the C-Cl bonds is symmetrical, leading to a nonpolar overall molecule.
