Re: covalent bonds
Electrons aren't typically described as distorted, bonds are described a distorted when there is a lone pair of electrons in a molecule. Because of electron repulsion, lone pairs cause all other bonds to move away from them and closer to each other, resulting in distorted bond angles that are smaller than they would have been.
