In a water molecule (H2O), oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen atoms through covalent bonds. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, so it attracts the shared electrons more strongly, leading to a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms. This sharing of electrons allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with each other, creating the unique properties of water.
