Dihydrogen monoxide (H2O or Water) is not an example of a nonpolar molecule. It is a polar molecule.
One example of a nonpolar molecule that is not soluble in water is oil. Nonpolar molecules, like oil, do not have a charge imbalance and therefore do not interact well with water molecules, which are polar. As a result, oil tends to separate from water when mixed together, forming distinct layers.
Covalent compounds have names based on the prefixes assigned to the elements in the compound. For example, CO2 is carbon dioxide, N2O is dinitrogen monoxide, and H2O is dihydrogen monoxide. The prefix indicates the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
A nonpolar molecule is one in which the electronegativity difference between atoms is minimal or non-existent. An example of a nonpolar molecule is carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), which has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape with four identical chlorine atoms bonded to a central carbon atom.
No, hydroxide is the name for the OH- ion. Water is almost universally called "water" or the equivalent in the local language. Once in a great while it might be referred to as "hydrogen oxide" or some variant on that (dihydrogen monoxide, hydronium hydroxide, etc.) but this is generally used only in a joking manner. For example, there's an article you could probably find online about the "dangers" of dihydrogen monoxide, including such things as "DHMO is highly addictive; withdrawal symptoms include dryness of the mouth, severe thirst, dehydration and ultimately death in 100% of cases."
Covalent compounds are named by first looking at how many atoms the first element in a molecule has. We'll use H2O as an example (although it is commonly known as water). Since the H contributes two atoms to the molecule it has the prefix di-. If it had one it would be mono-, three, tri-, etc. The second element also follows that same rule, however, the ending is changed as well. In the case of oxygen, the -ygen is taken off and replaced by -ide. Therefore, the molecule H2O is also known as dihydrogen oxide.
yep it is
O2 is an example of a nonpolar covalent bond. In an O2 molecule, the oxygen atoms share electrons equally, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge and a nonpolar molecule.
Dihydrogen monoxide is a joke name for water, and there are lots of stories about its assumed dangers - mentioning facts that are true, but misleading. For example, that it is the main ingredient of acid rain.

A monohydrogen is compound that contains one hydrogen. For example HPO2-ion is the formula for monohydrogen phosphate and water is at times referred to as dihydrogen monoxide.
Dihydrogen monoxide is a sure sign that someone is pulling your leg. It's most commonly seen in a hoax listing the negative effects of water ("Submersion in dihydrogen monoxide for periods as short as 5 minutes was fatal in 100% of test subjects" is one example), and then asking people to protect against this dangerous substance.
A nonpolar covalent molecule is one where electrons are shared equally between the atoms, resulting in no overall charge difference across the molecule. An example of a nonpolar covalent molecule is molecular nitrogen (N₂) or oxygen (O₂), where the two identical atoms share electrons equally. In contrast, molecules with significant differences in electronegativity between bonded atoms tend to be polar. To identify a specific nonpolar covalent molecule from a list, look for symmetrical diatomic molecules or hydrocarbons with nonpolar bonds.
An example of dipole-induced dipole forces is the interaction between a polar molecule, such as water, and a nonpolar molecule, such as nitrogen. The polar molecule induces a temporary dipole in the nonpolar molecule, creating an attractive force between the two molecules. This type of interaction helps explain why some substances can dissolve in water even if they are nonpolar.

One example of a compound containing only nonpolar covalent bonds is diatomic nitrogen (N2). In this molecule, two nitrogen atoms share electrons equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.

Mono is a Greek numerical prefix; mono is one. Ex.: carbon monoxide -CO.
