Even though the carbon is positively charged as compared to the oxygens, the oxygens and carbon are co-linear, so there is no net electric moment.
Carbon dioxide contains non-polar bonds because the molecule is linear and symmetrical, resulting in equal sharing of electrons between carbon and oxygen atoms. This balanced distribution of electrons means there is no significant charge separation to create a polarity in the molecule.
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.
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 compound formed by a Carbon and Oxygen. Only an element can be classified as a metal, non-metal or a metalloid. Compounds cannot be classified in these categories. Carbon and oxygen both are non-metals.
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
Carbon dioxide is a non-polar molecule containing polar covalent bonds in its atoms.
non-polar molecule
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide has polar molecular bonds. However, in overall, it is a non polar, linear molecule.

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.
You can see the movement of nitrogen dioxide gas because it is a more polar molecule and interacts with light differently. Carbon dioxide is non-polar and does not interact strongly with light to be visible.

Carbon dioxide is linear any polarity in the C=O bonds cancel each other out. Water is bent the polarity in the O-H bonds does not cancel
