A covalent bond. A polar covalent bond when the sharing is not equal due to the difference in electronegativity. Water is polar covalent because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the electrons spend more time in the orbital region around the oxygen. This fives a slightly negative charge to the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge to the hydrogen end in this neutral molecule.
