Question

each carbon oxygen bond co2 molecule is polar, but the molecule is itself is non polar. give reason

Answer 1

. CO₂ is non polar molecule although it contains polar C-O bonds. This is because of the symmetrical linear structure of CO₂ (O=C=O)​_, the strength of polarity of each C-O bond being same and in opposite direction the polar bonds cancel the effect of each other, thus give rise to non polar molecule.
