A linear shaped molecule.
In carbon dioxide (CO2), the two carbon-oxygen bonds are oriented symmetrically around the carbon atom, resulting in the bond dipoles canceling each other out. This leads to a nonpolar molecule overall, even though the individual carbon-oxygen bond is polar due to differences in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen.
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.
No, there are many other nonpolar molecules besides carbon dioxide and carbon tetrachloride. Examples include methane, ethane, and diatomic gases like nitrogen and oxygen. Nonpolar molecules generally have more symmetric structures, with balanced distribution of electrons.
No, silicon dioxide forms a network covalent structure, and so doesn't dissolve in anything:
Yes because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and store the carbon.
No, carbon dioxide does not dissolve in kerosene. Kerosene is a nonpolar solvent, while carbon dioxide is a nonpolar gas, so they do not have a strong affinity for each other.
True
non-polar molecule
true
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.
Carbon dioxide can exist in both liquid and solid states due to intermolecular forces. While carbon dioxide is nonpolar, it can undergo weak dispersion forces called London forces between molecules, allowing it to transition into a liquid or solid form under specific temperature and pressure conditions.
No. Carbon dioxide has polar bonds, but the molecule as a whole is nonpolar because it is symmetric.

True. Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule because it has a symmetrical linear shape with the same atoms on either side of the central carbon atom, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge.
Yes, SnS2 is soluble in carbon disulfide because both compounds are nonpolar in nature. The nonpolar nature of SnS2 allows it to dissolve in nonpolar solvents like carbon disulfide.
