Water is H2O which means it is made of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atom.

Hydrogen is fairly volatile and flammable and oxygen is a gas that that supports burning (it will relight a glowing splint). If you have H2O2 (equal parts hydrogen and oxygen) it is very easy to catch on fire and explode.

What happens when shared electrons between hydrogen and oxygen spend more time orbiting the oxygen than the hydrogen and what effect does this have on water molecules?

If you think of it in terms of time, the electrons always spend more on the oxygen. This creates polar bonds, and as the molecule is not symmetrical, it means that the whole molecule is polar.

What happens when carbon oxygen and hydrogen are heated together?

Most likely you'll get an explosion that creates carbon dioxide and water. But that will only happen if you get the mixture hot enough or the pressure is high enough.
