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 a covalent or ionic?

H2O, or water, is held together by polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are defined as a sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. Ionic bonds are defined as a bond between metal and non-metal ions. There is no metal ion in an H2O compound because Hydrogen is a gas and Oxygen is a non-metal, so it cannot be an ionic bond.
