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.
What else can I help you with?
Is water molecular or ionic?
The bonds in water are covalent.
Is water ionic or non ionic?
Water is a non-ionic molecule composed of two covalently bonded hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It does not dissociate into ions in its pure form.
Does ionic bonds have high or low resistance?
Ionic bonds do not conduct electricity in their pure form, so they have high resistance. However, when an ionic compound is dissolved in water or melted, its ions are free to move and conduct electricity, giving it low resistance.
Which is stronger ionic or covalent?
Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between ions with opposite charges, resulting in a strong electrostatic attraction. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which are generally not as strong as the electrostatic forces in ionic bonds.
Is nitric acid ionic or molecular?
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a molecular compound. It is composed of covalent bonds between the nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) atoms. In its pure form, nitric acid exists as molecules held together by these covalent bonds, rather than as individual ions like in an ionic compound.
Is water molecular or ionic?
The bonds in water are covalent.
HCl ionic compound?
No, although it ionizes in water it is composed of diatomic molecules in its pure form.
Is water ionic or non ionic?
Water is a non-ionic molecule composed of two covalently bonded hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It does not dissociate into ions in its pure form.
Does ionic bonds have high or low resistance?

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which are generally not as strong as the electrostatic forces in ionic bonds.
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 nitric acid ionic or molecular?
Nitric acid (HNO3) is a molecular compound. It is composed of covalent bonds between the nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) atoms. In its pure form, nitric acid exists as molecules held together by these covalent bonds, rather than as individual ions like in an ionic compound.
Do hydrogen bonds break in pure water?
yes, pure water maintains a pH of 7
Is pure water composed by molecules?
Yes, water is a molecule.
Is distilled water ionic?
Distilled water is not ionic because it is pure water with no dissolved ions. Ionic compounds in water dissociate into ions, but distilled water contains only water molecules and is not conductive like ionic solutions.
Is salt a pure compound which contains ionic bonds?
The usual table salt, sodium chloride, is definitely ionic, since it has one of the more electropositive elements with one of the more electronegative elements. In chemistry, salt refers to many compounds, but they have some similar traits.
Is pure water monatomic molecular or lattice?
Pure water is a molecular substance composed of H2O molecules. It is not monatomic because it contains two different types of atoms (hydrogen and oxygen) bonded together. It does not form a lattice structure like in ionic compounds.
