Polar as applied to a chemical bond means that there is an unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and there is therfore a build up of negative charge on the more electrnegative atom and a small positive charge on the less electronegative atom this gives rise to a bond dipole.

A polar bond is a bond in which there is a molecule has a slightly positively charged end, and a slightly negatively charged end; there is unequal sharing.

when one atom is more likely to attract the electron pair strongly than the other, the bond is said to be polarized.
