Is the S-H bond in Hydrogen sulphide non polar covalent, polar covalent or Ionic and Why?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Polar covalent because electronegativity of Sulphur is higher than hydrogen and hence it attracts the shared electron pair towards itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Miles is right. Electronegativities: S = 2.58; H = 2.2 Hence the H-S bond is slightly polar, S = slightly -, H = slightly plus. Because of the polar bonds, and the shape of the molecule, H2S is a polar molecule 9 but not as polar as H2O).
