To classify a bond as polar or covalent, you must first find the Electronegativity difference. The electronegativity of Na is 0.93 and Cl is 3.16.

Therefore we find the electronegativity difference by subtracting: 3.16 - 0.93= 2.23.

Therefore NaCl is an ionic bond.

For electronegativity differences >1.7, the bond is ionic.

For electronegativity differences between 0.4-1.7, the bond is polar covalent

For electronegativity differences < 0.4, the bond is non-polar covalent.

Is NaCl a polar or non polar state your reason?

NaCl is ionic, and polar/non-polar usually refers to covalent bonds. So, while it is polar in a sense (there are + and - parts) it is really ionic. It is, however, soluble in polar liquids, such a water.

Is it true that oil is covalent and water is ionic.?

No, both oil and water are covalent compounds. Oil is made up of nonpolar covalent molecules, while water is a polar covalent molecule. Ionic compounds are typically formed between metals and nonmetals, like salt (NaCl).
