Covalent bond = a bond in which the electrons are shared by the partner atoms.

Polar bond = simply a type of covalent bond in which the electrons are
shared but not equally. This happens when two different atoms come
together, such a C and O. Each atom has a different ability to draw
electrons to itself when it shares electrons (that drawing ability is
called Electronegativity).
