Answer:

Polar Covalent

Explanation:

Chlorine and Fluorine are both halogens. They are in group VII.

The Pauling's electronegativity value of these elements are:

F = 4.0

Cl = 3.0

Electronegativity of an element is a property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons. It can be used to predict bond type.

For heteronuclear molecules where the electronegativity difference is between 0.5 and 1.7 there will not be an equal sharing of the electron pair between the atoms involved.

The bond that results is a Polar Covalent bond.

When the electronegativity difference is zero or less than 0.5, a non-polar covalent bond forms. There would be an equal sharing of the electron pair donated.
