Why is the C-O bond considered to be polar? The molecule is symmetrical.

The electronegativity difference of the atoms in the bond.

The electronegativity difference of the atoms in the bond.

Explanation:

Carbon is electropositive while Oxygen is highly electronegative, hence highly polar due to strong intermolecular forces.

The molecule is not symmetrical because it's dipole moments don't cancel out.
