Polar covalent bonds are just like other covalent bonds except the fact that one of the elements in that is highly electronegative. Hence it is able to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

In a polar covalent bond, bonding electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge at the ends of the bond. This unequal sharing is due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms involved.
Bonding electrons in a polar covalent bond are shared unequally between atoms with differing electronegativities. This results in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. The electrons spend more time closer to the more electronegative atom, creating a dipole moment in the bond.
CH3I exhibits covalent bonding, with the carbon and hydrogen atoms sharing electrons to form bonds. The iodine atom is connected via a polar covalent bond, in which the electrons are not shared equally between the carbon and iodine atoms.
SiF4 has covalent bonding. Each silicon atom shares one of its four valence electrons with each of the four fluorine atoms, forming four covalent bonds.
The pairing of Br2 with polar covalent bonding is incorrect. Br2 exhibits nonpolar covalent bonding due to the similar electronegativities of the two bromine atoms causing a symmetrical distribution of electrons, resulting in a nonpolar molecule.
In a polar covalent bond, the bonding electrons are shared unequally between the atoms involved due to differences in electronegativity. One atom has a stronger pull on the electrons, causing a partial negative charge, while the other atom becomes partially positive. This unequal sharing results in a dipole moment, making the bond polar.
