does having a polar bond always mean you will have a polar molecule

OpenStudy (jfraser):

short answer, no

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

However not every molecule with polar bonds is a polar molecule. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has two polar C-O bonds, but the geometry of CO2 is linear so that the two bond dipole moments cancel and there is no net molecular dipole moment; the molecule is non-polar. -Wikipedia Welcome to OpenStudy!
