Expert Solution
Step 1 Analysis

Given: HCl, Cl2 and BrF 

To find: whether the molecule is polar or non polar and to tell which is more electronegative atom . 

Solution: If their is a difference in the electronegativity of two atoms than the bond is said to be polar and if there is no difference in electronegativity then the bond is said to be polar. The more is the electronegativity of the atom that will be more electronegative atom.
