No, the atoms within a given water molecule are covalently bonded to each other, but the molecules are not covalently bonded to other water molecules. Instead they have what is called a coordinate covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. In a coordinate covalent bond, there is no sharing of electrons but there are regions of electric charge (water molecules have a positive and a negative end to them due to the pattern in which the electrons are distributed) and that causes an electrostatic attraction.

What is a compound made from a group of covalently bonded atoms.?

A compound made from a group of covalently bonded atoms is called a molecule. In a molecule, atoms share electrons to form stable bonds, typically through the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This shared electron arrangement helps hold the atoms together in a stable structure.
