No. They reason it is polar is because one side is slightly positive and the other slightly negative. For this to happen, there needs to be unequal sharing of electrons. One atom will have a higher electronegativity than the other, and will naturally "keep" the electrons longer. So that atom will be slightly negative for having held onto the electron, creating a polar bond.

∙ 9y agoNo the hydrogen and oxygen atoms do not equally share their electrons. The oxygen atom has a greater electronegativity than the hydrogen atom, which means that the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom.

What are covalent bond considered if the atoms share electons equally?
If the atoms in a covalent bond share electrons equally, the bond is nonpolar.
Only two identical atoms can share electrons unequally or equally?
equally
Which type of bonding do atoms share one or more electrons?
Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share two or more electrons. Electrons are shared in pairs.
Atoms in molecules share pairs of electrons when they make?
covalent bonds
When atoms share electrons the electrical attraction of an atom for the shared electrons is called the atoms?
Electronegativity is the attraction of an atom for the shared pairs of electrons.
How many other pairs of atoms can carbon share its electrons with?
a carbon atom can share electrons with up to four other atoms.
What are covalent bond considered if the atoms share electons equally?
If the atoms in a covalent bond share electrons equally, the bond is nonpolar.
Only two identical atoms can share electrons unequally or equally?
equally
When atoms do not share electrons equally to form a bond?
polar
A chemical bond in which two atoms share three pairs of electrons 6 electrons is an?
Two atoms sharing three pairs of electrons have a triple bond.
What is the different between a covalent bond that is polar and one that is not?
In a polar covalent bond the atoms do not share the electrons equally, whereas in a nonpolar covalent bond the atoms do share the electrons equally.
Which type of bonding do atoms share one or more electrons?
Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share two or more electrons. Electrons are shared in pairs.
Only two identical atoms can share electrons unequally?
equally
Can atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons?
yeap!
Atoms in molecules share pairs of electrons when they make?
covalent bonds
How many paire of electrons do the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule share with each other?
They share two pairs of electrons and have 2 lone pairs
