Question

Complete the sentences to explain why CO2 and CCl4 are both nonpolar even though they contain polar bonds.

zero  one two three  four linear trigonal planar  tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal bonds are only slightly polar sum of the bond dipoles is zero molecules are relatively small

Given the Lewis structure of CO2, the central carbon atom has lone pair(s) of electrons and total electron groups. Thus the molecular geometry is 

Given the Lewis structure of CCl4, the central carbon atom has lone pair(s) of electrons and total electron groups. Thus the molecular geometry is  

The reason both molecules are nonpolar is best explained because the
