Bromine is more electronegative than the carbon, so when it bonds with carbon, as in methyl bromide, the bromine pulls the electrons closer to itself, creating a polar bond.

What type of bond would carbon tetrachloride and calcium bromide have?
CCl4 = All bonds are polar covalent. CaBr2 = ionic bond
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 a covalent bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?
== ==Yes, a covalent bond is stronger than a polar bond.
What term describes a covalent bond in which electrons are not shared equally?
A covalent bond in which the electrons are not shared equally is a polar covalent bond.
Is S and O ionic or covalent?
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
