Both H2O and CO2 have polar covalent bondings (O is more electronegative than H or C) . The main molecular difference arises from their different geometry.

CO2 is a linear molecule so despite of having to dipolar bonds they add up and exactly cancel each other rendering the molecule non-polar.

Which is the best location for storing radioactive wastes?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The answer is in chambers carved into the rock of a mountain. Radioactive waste should be well disposed where they are little to no anthropogenic activity that would uncover them. This is especially critical for high-level radioactive waste should be buried deep up to 2000 meters. While low-level radioactive waste can be buried 100 meters into the ground such as in sand, the risk is that it could contaminate the water table.
