Polar, the molecular structure of SO2 is basically identical with that of water. Both are polar due to the angle between the bonds.
SO2 is a covalent molecule, as it consists of two nonmetals, sulfur and oxygen, sharing electrons. Due to the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen, the molecule is polar covalent.
There is no such compound as sulfur nitrate. Sulfur and nitrogen can combine to form different compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), but sulfur nitrate does not exist.
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.
SO2 is the substance that has polar covalent bonds. This is because sulfur and oxygen have different electronegativities, resulting in an uneven sharing of electrons in the covalent bonds within the molecule.
SCN- (thiocyanate ion) is polar due to the electronegativity difference between sulfur and nitrogen atoms. Sulfur is less electronegative than nitrogen, creating a partial negative charge on the nitrogen atom and a partial positive charge on the sulfur atom, resulting in a polar molecule.
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)
Carbon dioxide is a non-polar molecule containing polar covalent bonds in its atoms.
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
non-polar molecule
The fact that they are joined by polar covalent bonds is irrelevant as intermolecular bonds do not usually determine the polarity of intramolecular bonds. Sulphur dioxide is angular in shape, presumably due to the extra electron shell as sulphur and oxygen are in the same group. This means one side of the molecule is more negative than the other and vise versa. This is what makes it a polar molecule. CO2 is linear and so there is no definitive negative side

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.
carbon dioxide
Examples of polar molecules include: Water - H2O. Ammonia - NH. Sulfur dioxide
SO2, or sulfur dioxide, is a molecular compound because it contains covalent bonds between non-metals.
