CO₂ - Carbon Dioxide:

First draw the lewis structure of CO2, Carbon dioxide:

Electron geometry: linear. Hybridization: sp

Then draw the 3D structure with VSEPR rules:


Decision:
The molecular geometry of CO₂ is linear with symmetric charge distribution about the carbon atom.
Therefore CO₂ is non-polar.
