Their is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of chlorine, but there is a big enough difference between chlorine and hydrogen to have the electron of hydrogen spend more time in the orbital of chlorine than in the hydrogen orbital, thus this molecule is slightly charged on either end (+/-) and therefore polar covalent.

If two covalently bonded atoms are identical the bond is identified as?
If two covalently bonded atoms are identical, the bond is identified as a nonpolar covalent bond.
Is a covalent bond considered polar or nonpolar?
Both actually. It just depends on the electro-negativity of the atoms bonded together. If both have the same electro-negativity, it is a nonpolar covalent bond. Otherwise, you have a polar covalent bond.
What happens when a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine?
When a polar covalent bond and a nonpolar covalent substance combine, they may form a heterogeneous mixture where the polar and nonpolar components do not mix together. The polar and nonpolar substances will tend to separate due to their differing intermolecular forces.
What kind of covalent bond is formed with two nonmetals?
A covalent bond formed between two nonmetals is called a nonpolar covalent bond. In this type of bond, the shared pair of electrons is equally distributed between the two atoms, leading to a balanced electrical charge overall.
What type of bond is ammonia?
The bonding in ammonia, NH3 is a nonpolar covalent bond.

Is HCN nonpolar covalent bond?
This molecule contains polar covalent bonds.
What type of bond is ammonia?
The bonding in ammonia, NH3 is a nonpolar covalent bond.
What are the two subtypes of covalent bond?
nonpolar bond and polar bond are the two subtypes of a covalent bond
Is O2 an example of a polar covalent bond or nonpolar covalent bond?
O2 is an example of a nonpolar covalent bond. In an O2 molecule, the oxygen atoms share electrons equally, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and a nonpolar molecule.
When atoms in a covalent bond share electrons unequally the bond is said to be...?
nonpolar scano:)
Is there a polar bond in ch4?
C-H bond of it is polar.CH4 has four such bonds
Is a covalent bond considered polar if the two atoms share the electrons equally?
No, a covalent bond is considered nonpolar when the two atoms share the electrons equally. If the electrons are not shared equally and there is an unequal distribution of charge, then the bond is considered polar.
Is BF3 non polar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
BF3 has a nonpolar covalent bond because the electronegativity difference between boron and fluorine is not significant enough to create a polar covalent bond. In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved.
