although carbon dioxide has polar bonds,it is a non polar molecule. why?

because the dipole moments cancel out due to its linear structure...............

O = C = O
O is more electronegative than carbon
and dipole moment is from + centre to negative centre
so dipole moment becomes zero and hence it is non polar
