Solution

No. Not all the times the covalent bonds are nonpolar. The greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic bond is formed. Bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds.
Nonpolar covalent bonds arise, with equal sharing of the bond electrons. when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal and the sharing of bond electrons is equal.
So, the correct answer is false.
