Check the electronegativities of the atoms in the bond. The bond will be polar if there is a difference in electronegativity. The most electronegative element will attract the bonding eletrons to it becoming slightly negatively charged. The other end of the bond will become slightly positively charged. For example a bond between carbon and chlorine, C-Cl:
C electronegativity 2.55
Cl electronegativity 3.16
The bond will be polar because of the difference in electronegativity, and Cl will be slightly negative, carbon slightly positive.

Is Be and Cl ionic polar or nonpolar?
Be and Cl form an ionic bond (BeCl2), and it is polar.
What happens when 1 pair of electrons are shared?
When one pair of electrons is shared, a single covalent bond exists. This bond can be either polar or nonpolar. If the electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. If the electrons are unequally shared, the bond is polar.
What types of elements are involved in a nonpolar bond?
A nonpolar bond could only occur with covalent bonds, as all ionic bonds are polar. This means that all elements involved in nonpolar bonds are nonmetals.
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar or polar
Is there a polar bond in ch4?
C-H bond of it is polar.CH4 has four such bonds
If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?
nonpolar!
Is O2 an example of a polar covalent bond or nonpolar covalent bond?
Nonpolar covlalent bond
Is BCI3 polar or nonpolar bond?
The bond in boron trichloride, BCl3, is polar covalent.
Is oxygen and fluorine a polar or nonpolar covalent bond?
polar
Is hydrogen fluoride polar or non polar?
Hydrogen gas, H2, is nonpolar because both hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity, so the difference in electronegativity is 0, which means the bond is nonpolar, and since this is the only bond, the gas is nonpolar.
Is sugar a polar covalent bond or nonpolar bond?

Is chlorine a non polar bond?
Nonpolar (:
C18 hydrocarbon polar nonpolar?
it is nonpolar since C-H bonds are considered a nonpolar bond
Is P-O polar or nonpolar?
It is non polar
Is B-Si polar non polar or ionic?
This bond is nonpolar covalent.
What is the difference between a polar bond and a nonpolar bond?
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is polar.The valance electons are shared equally and the bond is nonpolar.
What kind of covalent bond is formed with two nonmetals?
It can be either a polar covalent bond or a nonpolar covalent bond. C-Cl is an example of a polar covalent bond, while C-C is a good example of a nonpolar covalent bond.
