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.

What is stronger non polar covalent or polar covalent?

There is no general answer to this question: One of the strongest of covalent bonds is that between two nitrogen atoms in a nitrogen molecule, which is non polar covalent. In contrast, a carbon-carbon single bond, also usually non polar covalent, is relatively weak. The polar covalent bond between hydrogen and fluorine in the gas phase is very strong, while a hydrogen-iodine bond is relatively weak.
