No, atoms with electronegativity differences below 0.4 generally form nonpolar covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds are formed when there is an electronegativity difference between 0.4 and 1.7.
Atoms with electronegativity differences below 0.4 generally form nonpolar covalent bonds because the shared electrons are equally attracted by both atoms, resulting in a balanced sharing of electrons. This leads to a stable covalent bond where the electrons are shared between the atoms rather than being transferred.

The bond between carbon and hydrogen, with a difference in electronegativity of 0.4, will be classified as a nonpolar covalent bond. This is because the electronegativity difference is below the threshold for a polar covalent bond.
If the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed and if the difference is below 1.7, then covalent bond is formed.
If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is large (greater than 1.7), the bond is typically considered ionic. If the electronegativity difference is small (less than 1.7), the bond is usually considered covalent. Electronegativity values can help to determine the bond type based on the unequal sharing of electrons between atoms.
In a covalent bond, atoms with a small electronegativity difference share electrons almost equally, creating a nonpolar covalent bond. When there is a larger electronegativity difference, one atom pulls the shared electrons more strongly, resulting in a polar covalent bond.
Electronegativity differences of <0.5 indicates a nonpolar covalent bond. Electronegativity differences between 0.5 and 1.6 indicate a polar covalent bond. Electronegativity differences >2.0 indicates an ionic bond. For electronegativity differences between 1.6 and 2.0, if the bond involves a metal, it is considered to be ionic. If the bond is between two nonmetals, the bond is considered to be polar covalent. Refer to the related link below for more information.
Covalent bond between the two as the electronegativity difference between Cu ans S is below 1.7
A polar covalent bond is one where there is an unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms due to differences in electronegativity. This results in one atom having a slightly negative charge while the other has a slightly positive charge, creating a dipole moment in the molecule.
