CO2 polarity results from Carbon (6 protons) sharing electrons with two Oxygen atoms (8 protons each)
In Carbon Dioxide (CO2, 910), electrovalent bonding forces (q - q') occur because Carbon Atom (902) with a nucleus of six protons shares electrons with two Oxygen Atoms (901a/901b), each with a nucleus of eight protons; the additive captured electrons (total ten as to eight protons) cause both oxygen atoms to take on negative charge (B-) while carbon emanates positive charge (B+).
