Detailed Solution

Even though C and Cl  have different electronegativities and each C - Cl bond is polar and has some dipole moment, the carbon tetrachloride molecule has zero dipole moment.
Tricarbon dioxide, often known as carbon suboxide, has the chemical formula C3O2 o or  O=C=C=C=O. It is a cumulene because of its four double bonds in total.
While H2O (SO2) has some dipole moment, CO2 (CS2) has no dipole moment. A polar molecule's ability to rotate or align itself in an electric field is measured by its dipole moment. A vector element is the dipole moment.
The chemical formula for CO2 is O=C=O, and it contains a bond dipole moment (C-O bond). However, because one bond's dipole moment is negated by another, the structure of  CO2is

This is zero dipole moment are :

CCl4, C3O2, CS2, CO2, C2H2
