Is Water a Hydrated Ionic Compound?

H2O is a covalent compound. As hydrogen has only one electron in its outer most shell and oxygen has six electrons in its last shell. Oxygen needs two, while hydrogen requires only one electron to complete its last octave. So oxygen form two covalent bond with two hydrogen atoms. So, water is a covalent compound, but as oxygen is second most electronegative element in the periodic table so due to its high electronegativity the bond no more remains pure covalent, but converted to polar covalent. Hence, water molecule is a polar covalent compound.
