the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and carbon is 2.55
the difference between the two is 0.89, with the electron pull being towards the oxygen since it has the greater electronegativity
carbon dioxide is considered non polar because it has two opposing oxygen atoms in a perfect linear structure as to cancel out the dipole created by the polarity of the carbon/oxygen bond

What molecule has zero 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.
Which molecule have permanent dipole moment?
Every polar molecule has a permanent dipole.
Does KrF2 have a dipole moment?
KrF2 is a linear molecule and therefore there is no dipole moment.
Does H2Xe have a dipole moment?
This is not a naturally occuring compound. If it exists, it would not have a dipole moment as it would be a linear molecule.
Which molecule out of CO2 and So2 possesses zero dipole moment.explain with reason?
Dipole moment of CO2 molecule is zero,becoz it is linear molecule,whereas SO2 is angular molecule having dipole moment 1.61 D....:)

Which molecule has polar bond but its overall dipole momen is zero?
Symmetric molecules have no dipole moment. An example is carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 , which has no dipole moment yet the C-Cl bonds are polar, (chlorine is more electronegative than carbon). The chlorine atoms each have a small negative charge but because the molecule is tetrahedral there is no dipole and therefore no dipole moment
Why carbon monoxide is polar?
CO is a diatomic linear molecule C=O, both these atoms have about '1.0' difference of electronegativities so it is in the range of polarity and it has a certain value of Dipole moment.
Which molecule have permanent dipole moment?
Every polar molecule has a permanent dipole.
Does KrF2 have a dipole moment?
KrF2 is a linear molecule and therefore there is no dipole moment.
Does H2Xe have a dipole moment?
This is not a naturally occuring compound. If it exists, it would not have a dipole moment as it would be a linear molecule.
What is the dipole moment for CCI4?
It is a symmetrical tetrahedral molecule so has zero dipole moment.
Dipole moment vector of water molecule?
dipole moment of water is 1.85 Debye
Which molecule out of CO2 and So2 possesses zero dipole moment.explain with reason?
Dipole moment of CO2 molecule is zero,becoz it is linear molecule,whereas SO2 is angular molecule having dipole moment 1.61 D....:)
Mathematically why do the dipole moments cancel in a carbon tetrachloride molecule?
Carbon tetrachloride is tetrahedron shaped, it is 100% symmetrical. Thus all the 4 bond dipole moments cancel each other and the net dipole moment is zero.
What is the direction of the dipole moment expected for hydrogen bromide?
The HBr molecule is linear (obviously, since it contains only two atoms). The dipole moment is a vector, parallel to the bond, pointing toward the partially positively charged atom, which is, in this case, the hydrogen. The magnitude of the dipole moment is the difference in the partial electrical charges on each atom times the spatial separation of the atoms in the bond. In a molcule with more than two atoms (more than one bond), the dipole moment of each bond must be added vectorially and the resultant vector will determine the dipole moment of the molecule. For instance, carbon dioxide has two carbon-oxygen double bonds of high polarity, but because the molecule is linear, and the individual dipoles oppose each other, the carbon dioxide molecule has no net dipole moment.
Does H2S have a dipole moment?
No. H2 molecule does not have any dipole moment.
