Best Answer

yes

Cl and F have different electronegitivities

they will therefore exert different strengths of attraction on the pair of electrons in their covalent bond

F is more electronegative and will withdraw the electrons further from the bond (pull electrons closer to it)

F will be delta negative ... Cl will be delta positive

Yes, ClO3-1 is polar. Based off of the fact that ClO3-1 is a polyatomic ion, it must have polarity and be polar.
