I would say that it is polar. The shape of the molecule is tetrahedral with the C in the middle and the H and three F single bonded to it.
//H
FCF
//F
The electronegativity of H is 2.20 (according to Wikipedia) and the electronegativity of F is 3.98. An electronegativity difference of over 0.5 is considered to be a polar covelent bond. The difference in this molocule is 0.78. (3.98-2.20=0.78)

Is iodine polar or non polar?
An iodine molecule is formed by two 'I' atoms. It implies that the molecule is symmetrical and it is non-polar.
What condition must be met if a molecule having polar bonds is to be non polar?
Yes a molecule can be nonpolar when it contains polar covalent bonds, because think about it.if the molecule is linear in structure, and it has two equally polar bonds on either side, then the polarity will essentially cancel out, and it will become nonpolar
Is PBr5 polar or non-polar?
PBr5 is a nonpolar molecule because it has a symmetrical trigonal bipyramidal shape with the same electronegativity for each atom. This results in a cancellation of dipole moments, making the molecule nonpolar.
Is oxygen polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Definitely nonpolar.A molecule becomes polar if one of the atoms pulls electrons more strongly than another. But O2 is completely symmetrical--it's just two O atoms that are exactly alike. One can't pull more strongly than another, so it must be nonpolar.
Is C2H4 a polar or nonpolar?
The shape of molecule is two symmetrical triangle. Electronegativities of C and H are different, therefore C - H bonds polar, but C = C bond is nonpolar. Since the molecule is symmetrical there is an even charge distribution, and hence the molecule is nonpolar.
