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.

No. It contains non-polar covalent bond.


What does a covalent bond mean?

It just means a non-polar bond. If the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is less than .5, then it is a pure (non-polar) covalent bond.

What term describes a covalent bond in which electrons are not shared equally?

A polar covalent bond. In a polar covalent bond, one atom has a greater electronegativity than the other, causing the electrons to be pulled towards that atom, creating a partial positive and partial negative charge on the atoms.
