18 maj 2021 · Figure \(\PageIndex{7}\): The molecular geometry of a molecule affects its polarity. Each CO bond has a dipole moment, but they point in opposite directions so that the net CO2 molecule is nonpolar. In contrast, water is polar because the OH bond moments do not cancel out. Some other molecules are shown in the figure below.

16 lip 2024 · The figure below shows a comparison between carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide \(\left( \ce{CO_2} \right)\) is a linear molecule. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than the carbon atom, so there are two individual dipoles pointing outward from the \(\ce{C}\) atom to each \(\ce{O}\) atom.
Figure \(\PageIndex{5}\): Examples of symmetric molecules with all polar bonds but the molecule as a whole is nonpolar. The examples are (from left to right) carbon dioxide CO 2 , boron trifluoride BF 3 , and carbon tetrafluoride CF 4 .
26 lip 2014 · There are a couple of reasons why $\ce{CO2}$ is more soluble in water than $\ce{O2}$. Because the two $\ce{C=O}$ bonds in $\ce{CO2}$ are polarized (whereas in $\ce{O2}$ the bond is not polarized) it makes it easier for the polar water molecule to solvate it and to form hydrogen bonds.
Pictured below (see figure below) is a comparison between carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide \(\left( \ce{CO_2} \right)\) is a linear molecule. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than the carbon atom, so there are two individual dipoles pointing outward from the \(\ce{C}\) atom to each \(\ce{O}\) atom.
Carbon dioxide molecules dissolve in water because the polar areas of water attract the opposite polar areas of carbon dioxide. Image Solubility Curve for Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 )
21 paź 2020 · To understand why a water molecule is polar, while similar-seeming molecules (e.g., carbon dioxide or CO 2) are not polar, you need to understand the roles of electronegativity and molecular geometry in polarity.
