Answer:

CO 2 is non polar molecule although it contains polar C-O bonds. This is because of the symmetrical linear structure of CO2 (O=C=O), the strength of polarity of each C-O bond being same and in opposite direction the polar bonds cancel the effect of each other, thus give rise to non polar molecule
