Definitions:

Non-Bonding Lone Pairs

Pairs of valence electrons on an atom that are not involved in chemical bonding but influence the molecule's geometry and physical properties.

Covalent Bonds

Chemical bonds formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, contributing to the stability and structure of molecules.

Polar

Describes a molecule with an uneven distribution of electron density, leading to a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other.

Nonpolar

A type of chemical bond or molecule that does not have distinct electrical poles, resulting in even distribution of electrical charge.
