SF2 - it is polar When you draw its lewis structure you'd think it was non polar because its symmetrical. However, the lone pairs apply pressure on the bonds changing its shape to bent. Just lie H20.

BH3 - It is nonpolar because the individual dipole moments of the B-H bonds cancel each other out.

PF5 -  It is non-polar because in PF5 molecule there are 10 electrons in the valence shell of P. The molecular orbits are sp3d hybridized thus molecular configuration has a shape of triangular bipyramid, which is symmetric thus the molecule is not polar.

CS2 - It isnon- polar. CS2 is linear, symmetrical, and therefore nonpolar.
