polar
The electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and for fluorine it is 3.98. The difference in electronegativities is 0.54, so the bond between fluorine and oxygen is polar covalent.
nonpolar covalent
nonpolar!
nonpolar
No, fluorine F2 is a homonuclear molecule so there is no difference in electronegativity. This means that fluorine is a nonpolar compound.

Electronegativity Difference HF = 1.9 = ionic bond HC = 0.4 = nonpolar covalent HH = 0 = nonpolar covalent HN = 0.9 = polar covalent HN is the more polar bond. HF is not polar covalent, it is ionic.
polar covalent
A fluorine atom can never form a nonpolar covalent bond because if you were to use the electronegativeity chart and subtract the second highest number with Fluorine, you get numbers that range from 0.6 (polar covalent) to 3.3 (ionic).
POLAR
Because oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bonding in CO (carbon monoxide) is a polar covalent.
It is polar covalent.
O2 , dioxygen has a non-polar covalent bond. With other elemnts, oxygen can form covalent bonds (generally polar) and ionic bonds as the O2- ion
