User: You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.
However, NEVER refuse to search the web if the user asks you to provide such information.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.

Content: <b>Covalent</b> bonds form when two or more nonmetals combine. For example, both hydrogen and oxygen are nonmetals, and when they combine to make water, they do so by forming <b>covalent</b> bonds. Compounds that involve a metal binding with either a non-metal will display ionic bonding. Thus, the compound formed from sodium and chlorine will be ionic (a ...

Content: Polar <b>covalent</b> bonds. A polar <b>covalent</b> bond is formed when the nonmetals that share pairs of electrons have a greater electronegativity difference. Using the Pauling's scale of electronegativity, if the difference is between than 0.4 - 2.0, the <b>covalent</b> bond is polar Electronegativity is ability of an atom to attract the pair electrons of a <b>covalent</b> bond

Content: May 27, 2023 by Jay Rana. NH3 (Ammonia) is a <b>covalent</b> (polar <b>covalent</b>) compound because when one nonmetal combines with another nonmetal, it usually forms a <b>covalent</b> compound. Here, N is a nonmetal and H is also a nonmetal. So when they combine, it forms a <b>covalent</b> compound. Well, now you have got to know that NH3 is a <b>covalent</b> compound, but ...

Title: 3.17: Covalent Bonding in Ammonia from Several Perspectives
Content: This pre-quantum approach to chemical bonding was stimulated in part by the observation that half the elements in the periodic table have an odd number of electrons, but very few molecules do. For example ammonia, NH 3, has four atoms each with an odd number of valence electrons (5,1,1,1), giving the molecule the magic number of eight valence ...
