The molecules of SO2 & H20 have dipole moment but CO2 has no dipole moment. Thus, we refer to SO2, & H20 as polar molecules and CO2 as a non-polar molecule. The polarity of molecules is important in studying various properties like structure & reactivity, solvation, acidity-basicity etc. We ask you to suggest whyCO2 isanon-polarmolecule.(Rememberallthe3moleculesarecovalently bonded)
