Covalent Bond
Chemical bond involving sharing of electrons between atoms in a molecule (nonmetals)
Bonding Electron
Pairs of valence electrons that are shared between atoms in a covalent bond.
Nonbonding electrons(lone pair electrons)
Pairs of valence electrons on an atom that are not involved in electron sharing.

Electronegativity
Measure of relative attraction that an atom has for the shared electron in a bond. Determined by nuclear charge and number of other electrons present in electron shell.
Bond Polarity
Measure of the degree of inequality in the sharing of electrons in a chemical bond.
Nonpolar Covalent Bond
Covalent bond in which there is equal sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Polar Covalent Bond
Covalent bond in which there is unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Trait of Polar Covalent Bonds
The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar is the bond.
