Zinc carbonate is ionically bonded, which could be viewed as maximally polar, but "polar" in chemistry is usually reserved for a description of covalent bonds.

Zinc sulfide is polar. Polar molecules have two poles, a negative and a positive pole. Nonpolar molecules lack partial charges.

zinc oxide would be ionic (so it would be polar as in it has 2 poles)

Ionic, because it is between a metal and a non-metal :)
