NO is polar.

If you compare the electronegativities (how strongly the element pulls on electrons)

N 3.04

O 3.44 ( bigger therefore pulls electrons harder)

The electrons will be drawn to the oxygen causing it to be slightly negative, and the N to be slightly positive.

NO is a non-polar covalent compound because the difference in electronegativites is very less

between the two elements.
