A relative measure of an element's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Yes, carbon is not typically considered electronegative. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond, and carbon's electronegativity value is relatively low compared to elements like oxygen or fluorine.

No, caesium is a group 1 metal, with low electronegtivity. With fluorine it forms an ionic compound.
As you go down Group 1 in the periodic table, the reactivity of the elements increases due to the decrease in ionization energy and increase in atomic size. The metals become more reactive with water and air as you move down the group.
No. Both are non-metals so the bond is covalent. The electronegtivity difference of 0.46 is far to small to give an ionic bond. A couple of exampls are NS a strange molecue found in deep space, it is the sulfur analog of NO N4S4 has an unstable cage structure and is unstable.
The type of intermolecular force present in NH3 is hydrogen bonding. This is due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in NH3, which allows for the formation of strong hydrogen bonds between NH3 molecules.
Calcium Chloride (CaCl2) is composed of Calcium and Chlorine with Calcium having a partial positive charge and Chlorine having a partial negative charge. This means that the intermolecular forces will include dipole forces and London forces.
