Is ozone molecule polar or non-polar so confused (1 Viewer)

[Anousha]

in my school notes it says 'slightly polar' and other resources say non-polar ???!

Its slightly polar since it's a bent molecule

Oxygen on the other hand is non-polar

Ozone can be classified polar as the donation of the electron pair (coordinate covalent bonding) from the central oxygen atom leaves a small positive charge on it. Therefore, the ozone molecule becomes a dipole and polar whereas diatomic oxygen is non-polar.

Crisium is also right.
