Carbon and oxygen have an electronegativity difference of 0.5, so the bond is nonpolar covalent, with oxygen pulling the electrons toward it.
Carbon and oxygen have an electronegativity difference of 0.5, so the bond is nonpolar covalent, with oxygen pulling the electrons toward it.
Carbon and oxygen have an electronegativity difference of 1.0, so the bond is polar covalent, with oxygen pulling the electrons toward it.
Carbon and oxygen have an electronegativity difference of 1.0, so the bond is polar covalent, with oxygen pulling the electrons toward it.
Carbon and oxygen have an electronegativity difference of 0.5, so the bond is ionic, with oxygen pulling the electrons toward it.

The correct statement regarding the bonds in carbon dioxide (CO₂) is:
Carbon and oxygen have an electronegativity difference of 1.0, so the bond is polar covalent, with oxygen pulling the electrons toward it.
In CO₂, each carbon-oxygen bond has a significant electronegativity difference (approximately 1.0), which results in polar covalent bonds where oxygen is more electronegative than carbon and thus pulls the shared electrons closer to itself.
