Summing Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis was everything you needed to know about the nature of the bond between the atoms present in a water molecule. To sum up, water has a covalent bond because the hydrogen and oxygen atoms share their electrons to become stable and complete their octet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this bond is not as equal as it looks since the oxygen atom tends to pull on the electrons a bit more, resulting in each atom having a polar charge\u2014hydrogen the positive and oxygen the negative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Both covalent and ionic bonds have to do with how electrons are transferred and maintained between one atom and another present in a given compound. The chemical compound of water designated as H2O, but what exactly is the nature and form of the bond that forms between the atoms here?
