Yes with any element with a higher electronegativity. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55 on the Pauling scale. Checkout the table in wikipedia in the article "electronegativity", you can see that nitrogen, oxygen , sulfur, and fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine all have higher electronegativities.

Why CCL4 is polar?
It is not polar. only the bonds between the chlorine and carbon are polar
Why non polar molecules diffuse more rapidly through membranes than polar molecules?
The implication of non-polar molecules diffusing more rapidly than polar molecules to the transport of substances through the plasma membrane is quite significant. Concentrate gradients are established which facilitate the transport of vital molecules.
Why does Carbon not react with Water?
Carbon can't react with water because it one of the very stable elements. To make it react with water you would need a high tempature.
What are substances made of carbon carbon bonds only?
The allotropic forms of carbon, Diamond, Graphite and others have only carbon-carbon bonds
Explain why nonpolar substances generally do not dissolve in polar solvents?
No. Water has polar molecules so only polar molecules will dissolve in water. Nonpolar molecules will only dissolve in nonpolar solvents. For example, lipids will dissolve in ethanol.
Will sodium chloride dissolves in carbon tetrachloride?
NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.
Carbon forms bonds with a maximum of how many other atoms?
Carbon can only form bonds with a maximum of 4 other molecules. Carbon can only form bonds with a maximum of 4 other molecules.
Are sugars non polar Molecules?
No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.
Are carbon dioxide and carbon tetrachloride the only two non polar molecules?
No! There are many others, including in particular the completely nonpolar diatomic molecules of the elements H, N, O, F, Cl, Br, and I.
What kind of molecules can easily pass through a cell membrane?
Small, Non-polar molecules. If the molecule is polar, it sticks to both sides of the membrane, and has to go through selective routes. The easiest to get through is the Non-polar (oxygen and carbon).
Are polar molecules soluble in water?
No. Water is polar, and only dissolves other polar things.
Has molecules only containing carbon and hydrogen?
Some molecules only contain Carbon and Hydrogen. They are called Hydrocarbons.
Why does a polar molecule dissolve anything?
It doesn't. Only other polar molecules.
Why CCL4 is polar?
It is not polar. only the bonds between the chlorine and carbon are polar
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are what molecules?
Molecules that do not have oppositely charged ends are nonpolar molecules.
What bonded molecules have the lowest melting point?
Covalent molecules which contain only bonds between elements of similar electronegativity. For example: Carbon and hydrogen. They must not contain polar bonds like Oxygen and hydrogen.
Can a compound be non-polar if it contains only 1 polar bond?
Not really. The closest thing would be molecules with long hydrocarbon chains such as decanal (C10H20O) with the C-O bond being polar. The carbon-hydrogen bonds are technically polar as well, but this polarity is very weak.
