I believe that ClF2 is Nonpolar. This is because there are 3 lone pairs in the molecule and two bonding atoms. This makes a Linear Molecular Shape since the 3 lone pairs form in the equitorial plane and the two bonding atom form in the Axial Plane. In addition the the two Flourines have equal electronegitivity so the they do not create a polar relationship.

Non-polar because in Non-polar compounds the electronegativity difference should be negligible or less so here in ClF2 both are having high electronegativity so their difference will be less or negligible so ClF2 is Non-polar.Other examples are CH4 and CCl4 and so on....
