Which of the following describes carbon dioxide? o has polar covalent bonds and is a polar molecule o has non-polar covalent bonds and is a polar molecule o has ionic bonds and is an polar molecules o has ionic bonds and is a non-polar molecule o has polar bonds and is a non-polar molecule o has non-polar bonds and is a non-polar molecules

Option "Has polar bonds and is a non-polar molecule" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A covalent compound is defined as the compound in which there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

An ionic compound is defined as the compound in which there will be transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, a chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.

So, when a chlorine atom chemically combines with another chlorine atom then there occurs equal sharing of electrons.

Hence, molecule is formed which is non-polar covalent compound in nature with non-polar covalent bond.

For example, a carbon atom has 4 valence electrons and an oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons.

To complete their octet a carbon atom needs 4 more electrons and an oxygen atom needs 2 more electrons.

And, when one carbon and two oxygen atoms chemically combine together then there occurs unequal sharing of electrons.

Hence, a polar covalent compound is formed.

Since, oxygen is more electronegative than carbon atom. Hence, dipoles in the linear carbon dioxide molecules will cancel out each other.

Therefore, a carbon dioxide molecule is non-polar compound that has polar covalent bonds.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, has polar bonds and is a non-polar molecule, correctly describes carbon dioxide.

possibly, yes.

c. heat could easily travel through the molecules in the air and escape/enter the flask. removing the air slows down the heat transfer.
