Answer: See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

H2O has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a polar molecule

CO2 has one carbon molecule and two oxygen molecules. Both CO2 and H2O have two polar bonds. However the dipoles in the linear CO2 molecule cancel each other out, meaning that the CO2 molecule is non-polar.
