Yes. Water, or H2O, has covalent bonds.
Related Information:
Actually, they are polar covalent bonds. That means that the two hydrogen atoms form two covalent bonds with the one oxygen atom, causing it to be polar. This is because most of the electrons are pulled toward the hydrogen atoms, this will cause one end (Oxygen) of the molecule to be positively charged, and the other ends (Hydrogen) to be negatively charged. This is why water is known for it's hydrogen covalent bonds. That means that when one molecule of water is exposed to another molecule of water the negative ends of one are attracted to the positive end of the other (opposites attract). This polar attraction is what causes water have surface tension.

Is H2O ionic or covalent?
H2O (water) is a covalent compound, as no metals are involved.
Does H2O have at least one ionic bond?
no, H2O is a covalent compound
Is H2O a polar covalent or non polar compound?
H2O is a polar covalent compound. It has a net dipole moment because oxygen is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen.
Is H2O covalent or ionic compound?
H2O is a covalent compound with polar covalent bonds. In liquid water auto-ionisation takes placeH2O H+(aq) + OH-The dissocation is only very slight.
Is water ionic or non ionic?
Water, or H2O, is an Covalent compound.
Is H2O ionic or covalent?
H2O (water) is a covalent compound, as no metals are involved.
Is H2O And Example Of An Ionic Compound?
No, H2O is covalent.
Is H2O a covalent compound?
Yes. It has polar covalent bonds.
Does H2O have at least one ionic bond?
no, H2O is a covalent compound
Is H2O a polar covalent or non polar compound?
H2O is a polar covalent compound. It has a net dipole moment because oxygen is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen.
Is H2O covalent or ionic compound?
H2O is a covalent compound with polar covalent bonds. In liquid water auto-ionisation takes placeH2O H+(aq) + OH-The dissocation is only very slight.
Is water ionic or non ionic?
Water, or H2O, is an Covalent compound.
Why doesn't the covalent compound that dissolves in water have an electrical current?
cs h2o
Does H2O or CaO have stronger bond?
H2O has a stronger bond then CaO because H2O is a covalent compound (made up of two nonmetals), whereas CaO is an ionic compound (made up of both a metal and nonmetal), and covalent bonds are stronger then ionic bonds.
In the compound H2O the electrons in the bonds are unequally shared between oxygen and hydrogen forming what?
H2O, dihydrogen monoxide, is a compound formed by sharing electrons. Water, or H2O, is a polar covalent bond which means that is has an unequal sharing of electrons.
What compounds is an ionic compound H2O CH4 O2 MG3P2?
Mg3P2 is ionic. the rest are covalent
Does h2o share electrons?
Yes, H20 is a covalent compound, therefore it shares electrons when it bonds.
