The shape of H2O molecule is bent while that of CO2 is linear. The correct explanation for this fact is that dipole moment of:

1. carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and that of water is zero.
2. water is zero and that of carbon dioxide is 1.84 D.
3. carbon dioxide is zero and that of water is 1.84 D.
4. carbon dioxide is 3.84 D and that of water is 1.84 D.
