| Jun 13, 2020 at 20:55 | comment | added | Mithoron | But it could be - discuss reaction with water and relevant equilibria, and it would be done. | |

| Jun 12, 2020 at 13:43 | comment | added | ACR | @Alchimista, I was referring to comments. OP is using correct wordings. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 13:41 | comment | added | Alchimista | Please note that OP is correct as referring to the dipole moments and not to a more ambiguous (for some) polarity. The linked article find its justification in dealing with ab initio methods rather than common sense. When we speak about CO2 solubility I do not think we intend "free" CO2. Perhaps the article does but it is not what common intuition means. That is the answer is probably that by @Oscar Lanzi integrated by Mithoron comment. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 12:07 | comment | added | Buck Thorn♦ | @M.Farooq Do not confuse lack of meaning with multiple meanings :-) It's also a relative location on planet earth or an adjective, or the name of various commercial brands. | |

| Jun 12, 2020 at 7:20 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | @M.Farooq IMHO, "stable" is much worse. It is not used here, though. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 5:32 | comment | added | ACR | Polar does not mean anything. It is among the most ambiguous words used in chemistry. | |

Edited to improve title, formatting, and clarity. Corrected some typos and gave suitable tags.

| Jun 12, 2020 at 0:02 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | @Mithoron I will if I have to. | |
| Jun 12, 2020 at 0:01 | comment | added | Mithoron | Because if it's serious then your comparing it with wrong compound - comparison between CO and N2 would be interesting, but CO2 reacts with water, which changes everything. BTW @IvanNeretin don't even start that again... | |
| Jun 11, 2020 at 23:39 | comment | added | Ivan Neretin | Well, CO2 is a great deal more polar. | |
