The bond between the oxygen and the hydrogen is polar because the electrons are more attracted to the oxygen than they are to the hydrogen. This is true for every oxygen -hydrogen bond throughout the water. Each water molecule then holds to the ones around it because of the polarity, and this is hydrogen bonding.

Can a nonpolar covalent bond dissolve in water?

Nonpolar covalent bonds do not dissolve in water because water is a polar solvent. The polarity of water molecules causes them to interact more strongly with other polar molecules or ions, making nonpolar molecules insoluble in water.

Is water a pure covalent or polar covalent?

Water is a compound with a polar covalent bond. The electrons in the covalent bond are shared unequally between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms, leading to a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms.
