Question

State True or False.

$C{O}_2$ is a polar molecule but not have polar bond.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The given statement is False.
$C{O}_2$ is non polar molecule but has polar bonds.
$C{O}_2$ molecule has linear geometry with $O-C-O$ bond angle of ${180}^o$ . $C=O$ bonds are polar and the individual bond dipoles cancel each other as they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Hence, $C{O}_2$ molecule has zero net dipole moment.
