Co2 has least dipole moment ie. 0. This is because it is a linear molecule.While NH3 has the highest dipole moment because the vector of all the dipole moments( of 3 h atoms and 1 lone pair) is towards one directionSO2 has dipole moment because it is a bent molecule with partial ionic charge In increasing order of dipole moment:-CO2
