CO2 is nonpolar because the two oxygen atoms in CO2 are symmetrical, resulting in a linear molecular geometry with the oxygen atoms pulling equally on the carbon atom. CO, on the other hand, is polar because the oxygen atom pulls the shared electrons more strongly than the carbon atom, creating a dipole moment.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
