* Covalent: The bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the carbon (C) and fluorine (F) atoms.
* Polar: Fluorine is much more electronegative than carbon. This means fluorine has a stronger pull on the shared electrons, creating a partial negative charge (δ-) on the fluorine atom and a partial positive charge (δ+) on the carbon atom.
In summary: The electron pair in a C-F bond is shared between the two atoms, but the electrons are pulled closer to the more electronegative fluorine atom, making the bond polar.
