To calculate the the Energetics of Covalent Bonding and the Ionic character, you need to take into accot the difference in electronegativity of two atoms: Δχ = χB − χA.

Is NF3 a purely covalent molecule?

NF3 is a covalent molecule as it consists of nonmetals (nitrogen and fluorine) bonding through the sharing of electrons. However, it is not purely covalent due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and fluorine causing some degree of ionic character in the bonding.
