it has two bonds because the oxygen can make a bond with each hydrogen
A single water molecule can make three to four hydrogen bonds. A single water molecule can usually make three hydrogen bonds but in some cases it can make up to four. Hint: If your high school Biology teacher is asking you this question the number of hydrogen bonds a molecule of water can make is almost always three (just remember one bond for each element).
The bonds are called hydrogen bonds. You can find these bonds in the nucleotides of DNA.
Four covalent, polar, bonds with H atoms in ammonium ion: NH4+ (the same configuration as CH4).
The bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen are covalent. They make several compounds including ammonia and hydrazine.

Hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bond acceptor atoms such as Oxygen. Covalent bonds with nearly anything.
Two bonds in total. The oxygen atom forms two covalent bonds, one to each of two hydrogen atoms. This can be represented as H - O - H.

Water is composed of molecular bonds, but forms hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are not actual bonds, but they cause an attraction between the water molecules, which is why water is adhesive.
For hydrogen atoms to have the ability to create hydrogen bonds they must be bonded to an electronegative atom such as fluorine or oxygen. (This creates a partial positive charge on the hydrogen.) Since hydrocarbons are composed of only hydrogen and carbon there is no polarity in the bonds (electronegativity difference of 0.4).

Hydrogen bonding. The Hydrogen atoms and slightly positive and the oxygen atoms are slightly negative due to electronegativity and the hydrogens from one water molecule is attracted the the oxygen on other molecules
