Since SO2 is symmetrical with the outer oxygen atoms bound at 180 degrees, I don't believe it has a dipole moment. O3 is the same, having the oxygens on the outside, so there is no "pole," and although there is a slight 30-degree "kink" to CS2, I don't believe it has a dipole either. I believe you need to actually have hydrogen present for a hydrogen bond to occur... these are all gases, and are therefore not bound to anything in this gaseous form.

First, I will make the assumption that you are referring to molecular dipole.

Dipoles are opposite charges within a molecule. (di means 2) Water has dipole, because the oxygen carries a more negative charge and the hydrogens carry a more positive charge. Use the molecular geometries to determine if a molecule has a dipole or not.

Hydrogen bonds require the presence of hydrogen.

SO2 does not have a dipole or hydrogen bond.

O3 does not have a dipole or hydrogen bond.

CS2 also does not have a dipole or hydrogen bond.

SO2 is an angled molecule. The angle OSO = 119,5 degrees. There're 3 dipole moments in this molecule, 2 from S to O and 1 from S to its free electrones' pair. These 3 value are not equal so there's a dipole in this molecule. Actually, there's a high polarity in SO2: moment is 1,59 D. That explains why SO2 is easily liquified (at -10 degrees Cen.), dissolves much in water (1litre of water at 20 deg. cen. can contain 40 litres of SO2 ). In theory, SO2 can get Hydro-bond with water but really in water, SO2 is hydrated as SO2.xH2O.
Ozone contains dipole too but weaker: moment is 0,52 D.
CS2 doesn't contain dipole, 3 molecules of its are distributed on a straight line: S=C=S. So CS2 isn't dipoled. Beside, C & S have the same value of electronegativity (=2,5) so this molecule doesn't have neither dipole nor Hydro-bond.

O3 (ozone) has a dipole has it is in the form of O=O+--O- and is in a trianglelar form.
