how do two oxygen atoms cancel out each other if they pull in opposite directions and how does the molecule become nonpolar

An even distribution of electron density across the molecule, which means that the molecule has no distinct positive or negative ends. This lack of polarity makes the molecule symmetrical, and the forces of attraction between individual molecules are weak. Consequently, nonpolar molecules tend to have low boiling points and are generally insoluble in polar solvents.

When two oxygen atoms come together to form an oxygen molecule (O2), they share electrons to form a covalent bond. In this bond, each oxygen atom shares two electrons with the other oxygen atom, creating a stable molecule.

While it is true that the oxygen atoms in O2 molecule are electronegative and pull on the shared electrons in opposite directions, the two oxygen atoms are identical in terms of their electronegativity. This means that they pull on the electrons with equal strength, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge across the molecule. As a result, the molecule becomes nonpolar.
