Oh, dude, CCl2H2 is actually polar. Like, the molecule has a symmetrical shape, but the difference in electronegativity between carbon and chlorine makes it polar. So, yeah, it's not just a bunch of chill nonpolar atoms hanging out together.

this is an example of a geometric isomer and can be polar or non polar depending on its arrangement. It the like elements are on the same side then it is polar because both of the Cl represent a polar bond, and would pull the entire molecule toward them. If they are across from each other, transverse, the molecule will not be polar because the polar forces oppose each other.

Hope that helps

CH2Cl2, or dichloromethane, is a polar molecule, because the difference in electronegativity between C and Cl is sufficient to form a slightly negative charge in the chlorine atoms, while the carbon and hydrogen atoms form slightly positive charges.

CCl2H2 (dichloroacetylene) is nonpolar because the molecule is symmetrically arranged, with the two chlorine atoms canceling out the dipole moments created by the hydrogen atoms.

It's polar because or the chlorine atom possessing a permantent dipole- permanent dipole`
