Which of the following molecules is non-polar in nature?

Which of the following molecules is non-polar in nature?
  1. POCl3
  2. CH2O
  3. SbCl5
  4. NO2

Solution

All the given option have asymmetric structure except SbCl5, it has a symmetric structure (trigonal bipyramidal) with only 5 bond pairs and zero lone pair. So, it will have zero net dipole moment, i.e., it will be non-polar.
