Electronegativity and Types of bonds

When two atoms share electrons, a covalent bond is formed.
i.    If electrons are shared more or less equally, a non-polar covalent bond exists between the atoms (e.g. H-C).

ii.    If electrons are shared unequally, a polar covalent bond exists between the atoms (e.g. H-O).
