What is more polar a carbon hydrogen bond or a carbon oxygen bond?
A carbon-oxygen bond is more polar than a carbon-hydrogen bond, because the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen.
What contributes to the polarity of a water molecule?
This is the difference of electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen.
How and why do the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in water differ from bonds between hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrogen bonding exists between hydrogen and oxygen in water, becuase of the huge electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. This arises, due to the huge electron affinity of oxygen. Such interaction is not possible between carbon and hydrogen, as athe carbon is not as electronegative as oxygen.

nonpolar!
What would be the effect on properties of water molecule if oxygen and hydrogen had equal electronegativity?
The attraction of a particular kind of atom for the electrons of a covalent bond is called its electronegativity. If oxygen and hydrogen had equal electronegativity there wouldn't be any attraction between each molecule of water thus no hydrogen bonds.

What the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in a water molecule classified as?
polar covalent,
Why is the bond between H and F is not ionic but the electronegativity difference is 1.9?
The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is not a covalent bond. When hydrogen bonds with oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, then it is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds will be stronger than a regular covalent bond, so the electronegativity difference will be higher.
What bond makes Oxygen nitrogen and fluorine bond with hydrogen?
A "hydrogen bond" - a intermolecular force caused by large difference in electronegativity. [Hydrogen has a very low electronegativity whilst Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen all have a very high electronegativity so an electrostatic attraction exists]
What property of oxygen makes it share electrons unequally with hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.

How come oxygen atoms easily combine with two hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen's high electronegativity draws the weaker electronegativity of hydrogen, so that oxygen's valance shell, needing two electrons to fill it attracts the electrons of two hydrogens.
Why is oxygen gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2 and not hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen has a much lower attraction for electrons than oxygen does (or in more technical terms, oxygen has a much higher electronegativity). So when hydrogen gives up an electron to oxygen, it creates a strong chemical bond (although not an ionic bond; hydrogen's electronegativity is too high for that). When hydrogen peroxide gives up excess oxygen, the hydrogen remains bonded to the remaining oxygen (since hydrogen peroxide becomes water, H2O). If instead the hydrogen peroxide were to give up hydrogen, you would lose the powerful bond between hydrogen and oxygen, and all you would get in exchange would be a much weaker bond between hydrogen atoms and other hydrogen atoms, in the diatomic hydrogen molecule. Chemical reactions move in the direction of the strongest available bonds.
