ccl4-tetrahedral shape each polar bond cancels each others effect
sf6-octahedral complete symmetry
co2-linear ,polar bond and non polar molecule
1,4dimethoxy benzene1,4-Dimethoxybenzene has and oxygen attached at 1 and 4 on a benzene ring. the oxygens both have single bonds on the 1 and 4. If the formal charge on the molecule is 0 for all the atoms in the substance,the molecule is non polar
