Their is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of chlorine, but there is a big enough difference between chlorine and hydrogen to have the electron of hydrogen spend more time in the orbital of chlorine than in the hydrogen orbital, thus this molecule is slightly charged on either end (+/-) and therefore polar covalent.

What kind of covalent bond is formed with two nonmetals?
It can be either a polar covalent bond or a nonpolar covalent bond. C-Cl is an example of a polar covalent bond, while C-C is a good example of a nonpolar covalent bond.
Is O2 an example of a polar covalent bond or nonpolar covalent bond?
Nonpolar covlalent bond
Is NO2 a polar or nonpolar covalent bond?
Polar Covalent
Is NH3 a polar or nonpolar covalent bond?
The N-H bond is polar covalent.
Polar and nonpolar bonds?
Polar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are not shared equally. Nonpolar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally.
Is Cl2 a polar covalent bond?
No, it is nonpolar covalent
Is CI - CI a polar covalent bond?
it is a nonpolar covalent bond
What type of bond can be polar and non polar?
A covalent bond can be polar or nonpolar.
How does a polar covalent bond differ from a nonpolar covalent bond?
Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.
