Which molecule contains covalent bonds that are highly polar when considered individually, but has a molecular shape that results in a nonpolar compound overall?

Respuesta :

A molecule that contains covalent bonds that are highly polar when considered individually, but has a molecular shape that results in a nonpolar compound overall is a CO2 molecule.

A CO2 molecule has two polar carbon and oxygen bonds due to more electronegativity of oxygen. But as a whole the molecule is non-polar due to the arrangement of the surrounding atoms in space.

The oxygen forms two covalent bonds with carbon atom and still has two lone pairs. Due to the repulsion received by lone pairs it acquires a linear symmetrical geometry in space thus resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
