*sigh*
Polar equals ionic
Non polar equals covalent

From the last question you asked, non-metal + non-metal is covalent.
It is important that you consider shape (geometry) when deciding if a molecule is polar or not. Both CH3F and CCl4 are tetrahedral, but CCl4 has the same atoms (Cl) pulling on the carbon, so the pull will be equal. Since tetrahedral molecules have equal bond angles between the atoms bonded to Carbon, this would result in a non-polar molecule.
Each of the C-H molecules are linear, so do you think they will be polar?
