in the bonding chapter of my textbook, a covalent bond is defined as " the strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms"
the electronegativity and polarity chapter of my textbook says the bonding in oxygen, hydrogen and chlorine is a "pure covalent bond" because the bonded atoms come from the same element and the electron pair is shared equally. If you were asked for a definition of a "pure covalent bond" what would you put?
also how would you define a "polar covalent bond"
what's the difference between a normal covalent and pure and polar covalent bonds, or are pure and polar covalent bonds just "subsections" of a covalent bond?
thanks in advance.

Polar covalent bond is every other one.
Pure covalent is one extreme of the bonding spectrum from the other extreme, ionic bonding.
Pure covalent - polar covalent - distorted ionic - pure ionic

Pure covalent bonds require that both the atoms in the molecule are the same and hence have equal electronegativity.

what's a distorted ionic bond? and could you give an example pls
