Answer

i. $O_{3}$: Polar ii. $XeF_{2}$: Non-polar iii. $NO_{2}$: Polar iv. $C_{6}H_{14}$: Non-polar

Work Step by Step

i. It has a bent shape, hence there is a net dipole moment. ii. It has a linear structure with 0 dipole moment. iii. It has a bent shape due to lone pair of electrons, hence there is a dipole moment. iv. There is no polarization in C-H bonds as the charges are balanced by each other.
