A type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms, leading to a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other.

Cl-Cl Bond

A covalent bond between two chlorine atoms, often found in molecular chlorine (Cl2).

Non-polar Covalent

A type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other equally, resulting in no charge separation across the bond.

N-Br Bond

A chemical bond formed between nitrogen (N) and bromine (Br) atoms, often found in organic compounds such as amine-bromine derivatives.
