* Covalent: Carbon and chlorine share electrons to form the bond.
* Polar: Chlorine is much more electronegative than carbon. This means chlorine attracts the shared electrons more strongly, creating a partial negative charge (δ-) on the chlorine atom and a partial positive charge (δ+) on the carbon atom.
This difference in electronegativity leads to a separation of charge within the molecule, making it polar.
