What type of chemical bond does water have?

Answer 1

The two hydrogen atoms in water molecule (H2O) are connected to the oxygen via covalent bonds, which means the hydrogen and oxygen share electrons. (The hydrogen-oxygen bonds are primarily covalent rather than ionic.)

The molecules in liquid water are said to engage in hydrogen boding between molecules. Water molecules are very polar because the oxygen has a partial negative charge and the hydrogens have partial positive charges. Because it is so polar, water can form hydrogen bonds, where the oxygen from one molecule of water has a strong attraction to the hydrogen atoms in another molecule of water. These H-bonds are strong compared to other intermolecular forces, but still fairly weak compared to the covalent bonds within the water molecules.

Answer 2

Water has covalent bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms within the water molecule, and it also exhibits hydrogen bonding between water molecules.

Answer 3

Covalent
