What is the difference between a non polar covalent bond, a polar bond and an ionic bond?
I think I understand ionic bonds but I don't get the difference between non polar covalent and covalent. I would love some examples too! Thanks in advance.

Okay a polar bond is where two elements bond together but one is more electronegative than the other (electronegativity is the ability to draw electrons towards its nucleus from a double bond) for example carbon monoxide has a polar bond because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon and the electrons are closer to one side
non polar bonds are bonds where the electronegativity is the same for example carbon to carbon
ionic bonds are between metals and non metals and there is an electron actually transfered between the molecules
for example between sodium and fluorine the electron in the outermost shell of the sodium is taken by the fluorine, the sodium becomes positively charged and the fluorine becomes a negative charge, positive attracts the negative.
