Answer #1

SF6 has a symmetric ball shaped structure i.e., octahedral, electons are pulled equally in all the directions. There is no polarity in this molecule.

CO2 is linear molecule i.e., O=C=O, oxygen is pulling electrons equally in both the directions. Its non-polar.

BF3 is trigonal planar with equal pull of elctrrons in each direction. Its non-polar.

SF4 has a see-saw shape which induces the polarity in the molecule. Hence, its polar

OUT OF THESE FOUR MOLECULES SF4 IS POLAR
