Because in some covalent bonds, the electrons forming the bond are equally as likely to be near one of the bonded nuclei as the other, while in some covalent bonds the electrons forming the bond are more likely to be one of the bonded nuclei than the other. The first instance is most purely illustrated in diatomic molecules of elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens in which the two bonded atoms have exactly equal electronegativity values, while the second occurs when the bonded atoms have very different electronegativities, as in hydrogen halides.

Do diatomic elements have nonpolar covalent bonds?
Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules
How do you determine the bond type of H2O2 What is the formula Is it polar or nonpolar covalent?
Hydrogen peroxide has both polar covalent bonds (-OH bonds) and non polar covalent bonds (O-O bond).
Does SBr2 has polar or nonpolar bonds?
No, it is non-polar.
Is BF3 nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?
No. The individual bonds are polar, but BF3 is trigonal planar so the overall molecule is not polar.
We further separate covalent bonds into polar covalent and nonpolar covalent what would have to be the case for a bond to be a nonpolar covalent?
In a nonpolar covalent bond the difference between the electronegativities of the two atoms are not significant.
When fluorine atoms form covalent bonds with other kinds of atoms are the bonds polar or non polar?
nonpolar
