polar because of the difference in electronegativities. Br is a more electronegative element it tends to pull shared pairs of electrons more to itself and this induces partial charges on both atoms

ICl is polar (polar covalent) because its difference in Electronegativity is: 0.5

EN: Cl = 3.0

EN:I = 2.5

=> [(EN:Cl)-(EN:I)] = 3 - 2.5 = 0.5

In general:

If difference is = 0 => non-polar covalent

If difference is 0 > 2 => polar covalent

If difference is < 2 => ionic

it is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons. just look at its shape.

Nonpolar because both sides of the molecule have a positive charge
