No. Water us a covalent molecule H2O with polar covalent bonds between H and O. Water is surprisingly complex- there are weak but important hydrogen bonds between the molecules which make the melting point and boiling point higher than you'd expect and cause ice to have lower density than water. There is slight ionization of pure water
H2O <-> H+(aq) + OH-
the concentration of H+ is the basis of pH.

Which is stronger ionic or covalent?
Covalent bonds are the strongest in an aqueous solution.
Is butter a covalent or an ionic bond?
Butter is not a pure substance but is a mixture, mainly fats water and some salt. The majority of chemical bonds in this mixture will be covalent.
Is H2S an ionic bond?
Pure H2S has predominantly covalent bonds. In solution in water, however, H2S readily ionizes to produce hydrogen cations and sulfide anions.
Does calcium form a covalent bond?
No, calcium tends to form ionic bonds when in compounds. In its pure metallic state, it forms metallic bonds.
Do hydrogen bonds in pure water break and reform?
The hydrogen bonds in pure water reform and break as they are intermolecular forces. If they didn't break and reform then pure water would be solid and life couldn't exist.
HCl ionic compound?
No, although it ionizes in water it is composed of diatomic molecules in its pure form.

How are the electronegativity values used to determine the type of bond that exist between to atoms?
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons (or electron density) to itself. The bonds you're talking about are ionic, polar covalent and pure covalent. In ionic bonds one atom (the anion) hogs the electrons, so the higher the difference in EN the more likely it is ionic. Salts, eg NaCl, are ionic. In pure covalent bonds the electrons shared are shared equally between the two atoms. The smaller the difference in EN the more likely it is pure covalent. Oxygen gas, O2, shares a pure covalent bond. In between the two exist the polar covalent bonds. Their electronegativity is between pure covalent and ionic. They share their electrons however are slightly unequal. Water has polar covalent bonds. Exact numbers differentiating the three vary from place to place so it is best to ask your professor what they accept.
Is H2S an ionic bond?
Pure H2S has predominantly covalent bonds. In solution in water, however, H2S readily ionizes to produce hydrogen cations and sulfide anions.
Is acetic acid ionic or molecular?
Acetic acid in pure form is molecular and has covalent bonds, but when dissolved in water it dissociates into acetate anions and hydrogen cations.
Does calcium form a covalent bond?
No, calcium tends to form ionic bonds when in compounds. In its pure metallic state, it forms metallic bonds.
Is pure water composed by molecules?
Yes, water is a molecule.
Do hydrogen bonds break in pure water?
yes, pure water maintains a pH of 7
Do hydrogen bonds in pure water break and reform?
The hydrogen bonds in pure water reform and break as they are intermolecular forces. If they didn't break and reform then pure water would be solid and life couldn't exist.
Is tooth paste a ionic or covalent bond?
Toothpaste is not a pure substance but is mixture of many ingredients some contain covalent bonds some ionic.
Is hydrogen bromide ionic?
No, in its pure form hydrogen bromide is composed of diatomic molecules. Though in water it completely dissociates into ions as it is a strong acid as are the other hydrogen halides with the exception of hydrogen fluoride.
