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). Nonpolar bond = two of the same atoms come together, such as the diatomic molecule N2, or triatomics such as O3, etc. A nonpolar covalent bond could be viewed as having "pure" covalent character. There is perfectly equal sharing.
