In H2O the electrons are shared by the oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Although there are two hydrogen atoms, the electro-negativity (or ability to attract electrons) of the oxygen is greater than the hydrogens, therefore the electrons are pulled greater towards the oxygen resulting in the oxygen becoming "negatively charged" this results in the molecule becoming what is known as a "dipolar molecule". This is what causes water to be attracted to each other as each molecule has a positive and negative pole.

Molecules that form when electrons are shared unequally between atoms are called?
Valence electrons
What happends to electrons in a colvalent bond?
In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms to form a stable molecule. These shared electrons move between the nuclei of the bonded atoms, creating a strong bond that holds the atoms together. The shared electrons are attracted to both nuclei, thus keeping the atoms in close proximity to each other.
What is a covalent bond called in which electrons are shared unqually?
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is called a polar covalent bond. This type of bond occurs when one atom has a greater pull on the shared electrons, creating partial charges on the atoms involved in the bond.
Is A nonpolar bond is formed when two atoms share electrons unequally?
No. A polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly. A nonpolar bond indicates even sharing of electrons.
What is a covalent bond called in which electrons are shared?
A covalent bond! When the electrons are shared unequally due to a difference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded it is called a polar covalent bond
Covalent bonding is defined as polar when?
electrons are shared unequally between atoms.

What Particle in which electrons are shared unequally is?
A polar covalent bond involves a particle in which electrons are shared unequally. This occurs when the difference in electronegativity between the atoms is significant enough to cause a partial negative charge on one atom and a partial positive charge on the other.
