Hello Tatiandarcia I believe your question should be "In a polar covalent bond, the DIFFERENCE in electronegativities of two atom is zero?" The answer to this is that it is false. The electronegativities of elements are not zero (see web site below). When discussing the formation of bonds it is the difference in electronegatities of the two atoms that is considered.
