Question

2) Carbon dioxide and water molecules both contain polar bonds due to the electronegativity differences between oxygen and carbon in CO2 and oxygen and hydrogen in H20. Compare the polarity of these molecules based on your observations of these molecules in the Molecular Polarity simulation. Refer to Section 10.8 in the text for background on this topic. Note: if you did not or were not able to use the polarity simulation then look up the information to complete this answer but provide a reference with your answer.

Answer 1

solution polarity in carbon di oxide (co₂) octo + + e polarity vector. Although Carbon- oxygen bonds are polar in nature, but net polarity in CO2 molecule will be zeno. because polarity vector cences each other, so it is not polar. s polarity in H₂O = E since oxygen and hydrogen bonds are polar in H₂O, but net polarity in tho molecule will be finite (not reo). so H₂O. is polar, and co₂ is non polar.
