Iodine
Iodine chloride is polar, since chlorine has a higher electronegativity than iodine has.
Fluorine is the weakest oxidizing agent among the halogens. It has the highest electronegativity and is highly reactive, but it is not as strong of an oxidizing agent as chlorine, bromine, or iodine.
Basically, a polar bond is one in which the electrons are unequally shared between two atoms. In the case of Carbon and Iodine, Carbon has an electronegativity of roughly 2.5 and Iodine has an electronegativity of about 2.5. Therefore, the two pull about equally as hard on the shared electrons and produce a non-polar molecule.
As you can see on the periodic table.. Carbon is number 6. And Iodine is 53. Carbon, loves it's electrons more than Iodine. So it is said that Carbon has a higher electronegativity, and wants to keep it's electrons as long as possible. (Electron config: 2,4) Iodine, loves it's electrons less than Carbon. As it's has many more electron shells and electrons it has a lower electronegativity. When Iodine is heated, it has a a lower melting point than Carbon because of this electronegativity (it doesn't really want it's electrons) and so the bonds breaks, quicker than what the bonds of the Carbon atom do. Hope this helps.
iodine has lower electronegativity than chlorine
No, nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine. Electronegativity of nitrogen= 3.04 Electronegativity of Iodine = 2.66

Iodine chloride is polar, since chlorine has a higher electronegativity than iodine has.
is it so? Bromine is more electronegetive than Iodine

molecule of iodine is made up of similar kind of iodine atoms .So there is no difference in the electronegativity. Hence,it forms non-polar covalent bond.
Nonpolar covalent bond; the electronegativity values are identical.
Because they need the same amount of electrons to be filled up and there electronegativity is similar.
