Yes, Oxygen(O) is more electronegative and Chlorine(Cl). Therefore when they form a covalent bond between them. The electron density will be heavier towards the Oxygen atom.
But, in a molecule of Oxygen Dichloride(OCl2), there are two polar O-Cl bonds with O as the central atom. The polar bonds cancel each other out, resulting in the OCl2 molecule a non-polar molecule.

What type of bond is OCl?
Polar Colvalent
Is OCl polar covalent?
Yes
What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?
In the increasing order, they are non polar covalent bond < polar covalent bond < ionic bond.
Is the bond between CN polar?
It is polar bond, a very weak polar bond the ^EN=0.5 but in many cases it is more practical to say that it is non-polar.
Is cf3cl polar?
CF3Cl is a polar molecule. There are three C-F polar bond and and C-Cl polar bond. The bond dipoles do not cancel out and hence the compound is a polar molcule.
What type of bond is OCl?
Polar Colvalent
Is OCl polar covalent?
Yes
What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?
In the increasing order, they are non polar covalent bond < polar covalent bond < ionic bond.
How does a polar covalent bond differ from a covalent bond?
Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.
Is the bond between CN polar?
It is polar bond, a very weak polar bond the ^EN=0.5 but in many cases it is more practical to say that it is non-polar.
Is cf3cl polar?
CF3Cl is a polar molecule. There are three C-F polar bond and and C-Cl polar bond. The bond dipoles do not cancel out and hence the compound is a polar molcule.
Is a covalent bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?
== ==Yes, a covalent bond is stronger than a polar bond.
If atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons the bond is called?
i was doing my chemistry hw, and found this. I hope that it helps you too: polar covalent
Is C - 0 a non polar covalent bond?
carbon-oxygen bond is polar covalent bond
Is ch4 bond a polar or non polar bond?
the molecule is non-polar the CH bonds are also non-polar
What do polar bonds use delta notation for?
A polar bond is bond between two atoms where the bond is shared, but unequal. A delta notation in a polar bond marks the atom that has the strong part of the bond.
If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as a polar blank bond?
Polar covalent bond.
