A polarized covalent bond is formed , as in water .
When oxygen atoms share electrons, they form covalent bonds. This allows them to complete their outer electron shells and become more stable. Covalent bonds are strong and result in the formation of molecules, such as O2 (oxygen gas), where oxygen atoms share electrons to achieve a more stable configuration.

They form covalent bonds.
They form covalent bonds.
No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form ionic bonds. They are more likely to form covalent bonds, where they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Without hybridization, oxygen has a valence electron configuration of 2s22p4. Which means it has 2 unpaired electrons; therefore it can form 2 bonds.
Oxygen can form 3 bonds by utilizing its 2 unpaired electrons in its 2p orbital to form covalent bonds with other atoms. This allows oxygen to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to a noble gas. An example is in the formation of ozone (O3), where oxygen atoms are connected through double bonds.
When a carbon forms four covalent bonds, the bonds are directed toward the corners of a tetrahedron. This arrangement allows the bonds to be as far apart from each other as possible, minimizing repulsion between electron pairs and maximizing stability.
Covalent bonds hold hydrogen and oxygen atoms together in a water molecule (H2O). In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Atoms create a bond many different ways. Covalent bonds - only happens between nonmetals. The atoms share electrons. Ionic bonds - only happens between a nonmetal and a metal. One atom takes the other atom's electron(s). Hydrogen bonds - only happens between hydrogen and fluorine, nitrogen, or oxygen. Polar Covalent Bonds - this is a type of bond between ionic and covalent bonds. The atoms don't share or take the electron. The electron is shared but one atom has more control of it. Metallic bonds - only between metals. Electrons form a shared cloud, not in a molecule, but shared by all the metal atoms in a given object.
Methanol has covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, as is the case with the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in methanol.
An oxygen atom only forms two covalent bonds with a hydrogen atom because oxygen needs to gain two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, similar to the noble gas configuration. By sharing one electron with each hydrogen atom, oxygen can fulfill its octet and achieve stability.
