The formula H2O represents a covalent bond. In water (H2O), the oxygen atom shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms by forming covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Is h2o a covalent or ionic?

H2O, or water, is held together by polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are defined as a sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. Ionic bonds are defined as a bond between metal and non-metal ions. There is no metal ion in an H2O compound because Hydrogen is a gas and Oxygen is a non-metal, so it cannot be an ionic bond.


Does H2O or CaO have stronger bond?

H2O has a stronger bond then CaO because H2O is a covalent compound (made up of two nonmetals), whereas CaO is an ionic compound (made up of both a metal and nonmetal), and covalent bonds are stronger then ionic bonds.

Is H2o covalent bond or ionic bond?

it is a polar covalent bond. Scince oxygen does not follow the octet rule(only 8 electrons, needs ten) and hydrogen has one electron, two hydrogen electrons plus eight oxygen electrons equal ten :)
