Is CS2 polar or nonpolar?

Показать описание
CS2 is a linear molecule and the Sulfur (S) atoms on each end are symmetrical. Polarity results from an unequal sharing of valence electrons. Because of this symmetry there is no region of unequal sharing and CS2 is a nonpolar molecule.

What about a different resonance structure of this then it would be polar this is confusing the hell out of me
you could have a triple and a single

Uhgh, I'm not sure if my teacher just screwed up or if this is correct, but it seems wrong to me: she has written that CS2 has polar bonds in it but is overall non-polar... but that doesn't make sense, because Carbon and Sulfur have the same electronegativity!?
