Dipole Movement

Which type of molecules do not have dipole movement? Since nonpolar molecules do not have partial charges, is it true that there is no dipole movement? Thanks for your *delete me*

Only homo diatomic molecules wouldn't have a dipole moment, like H2.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

More molecules does not have a dipole moment, eg three atomic carbon dioxide, four atomic acetylene and so on (all that possess internal centre of symmetry)
