When someone describes a chemical bond as being a covalent bond, it means that the atoms that are involved in the bond are evenly sharing electrons. Meaning that neither of the atoms has more pull on the shared electron because they have similar electronegativity.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.

However, if you have one atom with a strong electronegativity and one with a weak one, you get a Polar Covalent bond this is where the shared electron is pulled toward the stronger atom, resulting in a slightly positive charge on one side of the bond, and a slightly negative charge at the other.

What is a non call life bond?

A noncallable bond is a debenture which the company or institution that issued it cannot force you to redeem before the final call date (i.e. they can't call it). For example, if you purchased a 30-year bond in 2005 with a 4.5% coupon, the issuer today would like to call that bond because they can borrow money more cheaply (i.e. at a lower interest rate). But if the bond is noncallable they cannot do that. The trade-off is that a noncallable bond generally has a slightly lower nominal coupon.
