When the electrons are shared equally then
Electronegativity values are equal and polar covalent bonds are formed
Electronegativity values are unequal and polar covalent bonds are formed
Electronegativity values are equal and non-polar covalent bonds are formed
Electronegativity values are equal and hydrogen bonds are formed
Intramolecular and Intermolecular Bonds
Intramolecular Bonds:
In any given molecule, the atoms interact with each other via intramolecular bonds.
1.1. Non-Polar Covalent Bonds:
1.2. Polar Covalent Bonds:
Due to the difference in the electronegative values of the atoms, the sharing of electrons become unequal.
The bond formed due to an unequal sharing is called a polar covalent bond.
Herein, one atom is partially electronegative and the other partially electropositive.
For example, H2O

Intermolecular Bonds:

Non-Polar Covalent Bonds: These bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons equally such that their electronegativity value is also equal. For example, H2
