Any bond is polar only when there is a net dipole moment of the molecule.

Polar bonds occur only when among the bonding atoms, one atom is more electronegative than the other one. But in case of H2 molecule both are hydrogen atoms and have same electronegativites. Thus, their bond is non- polar.

It's polar because the oxygen molecule is more electronegative than both the hydrogen atoms together. This means that the oxygen atom attracts the electron of each hydrogen more strongly than the hydrogens, so the electrons spend more time around the oxygen.

Just look at it like this... since hydrogen by itself is neutral, when its electron (which is negative) is pulled away it becomes (mostly) positive. And the oxygen, having more of the electrons, becomes more negative. So you now have a molecule with an area of negative charges (the oxygen) and an area of positive charges (the hydrogens). So this positive/negative charge within the molecule makes it polar.

Hydrogen sulfide is a polar molecule. It is a colorless gas that smells very bad and can be harmful to your health.
