Given the electronegativity values of C (2.5),N (3.0),O (3.5),and S (2.5),which of the following molecules have polar bonds?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the molecules listed have polar bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved. CO₂ has polar bonds between carbon and oxygen, SO₂ between sulfur and oxygen, and NO₂ between nitrogen and oxygen, but CO₂ and SO₂ are overall nonpolar due to their symmetrical shape, while NO₂ is polar.
