Statement (A) $CO_{2}$ has no dipole moment , whereas $SO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$ have dipole moment .

Statement (B) $SnCl_{2}$ is ionic , whereas $SnCl_{4}$ is covalent,

Which of the following is correct?

A) Both (A) and (B) are not correct

B) (A) is correct but (B) is not correct

C) Both (A) and (B) are correct

D) (A) is not correct but (B) is correct

Option C

$CO_{2}$ is non-polar where as $SO_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$ are polar

$SnCl_{2}$ is ionic in an aqueous medium whereas, $SnCl_{4}$ is covalent due to the greater covalency of Sn
