Definitions:

N-Br Bond

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

Polar Covalent

A type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms, leading to a distribution of electric charge more concentrated around one atom.

Electronegativity Difference

The measure of the difference in electronegativity values between two atoms in a bond, determining the bond's character as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

C-O Bond

A covalent bond between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom, integral to many organic compounds and carbonates.
