Coordinate covalent bond is always polar because only one atom supplied both shared pair electron due to which partial positive charge appears on donar and partial negative charge on acceptor

polar means one of the atoms in the molecule has a higher electric load than the others( a great electronegative value, means the atom attracts electrones)

in a covalent bond, electrones are shared, so there is no atom with a higher amount of electrones = nonpolar

Different elements almost always have different electronegativities. Therefore, covalent bonds between different elements will nearly always have some degree of polarity. Note however, that this degree of polarity is not always enough for a bond to be considered fully "polar". For example, the Carbon - Hydrogen bond in molecules like benzene has an electronegativity difference of about 0.4, which makes it somewhat polar, but minimally so.

the attractions are not as strong as ionic or covalent bonds, but they are strong enough to hold molecules together in a liquid or a solid.

No. There are many covalent compounds that are polar. A perfect example is H2O.

Ionic bonds are based on the electrostatic attraction between two ions with opposite electrical charges.
