हिन्दीWhich of the following pairs consists of a non-polar molecule and a polar molecule, respectively?
Correct answer · Option 4
\( \text{CO}_2 \) and \( \text{HCl} \)
Explanation
\( \text{CO}_2 \) is linear and symmetric, giving it zero permanent dipole moment (non-polar), whereas \( \text{HCl} \) has separated centres of charge, giving it a permanent dipole moment (polar).
