A molecule of water of water showing the nature of bonding between one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms?

Dear student!

A molecule is said to be polar when it has a net dipole moment which is raised when the atoms have a difference in electronegativity and its magnitude does not cancel off each other.

In a water molecule, there are two hydrogens and one oxygen molecule. As we know that it is not a linear molecule, its a bent shaped molecule so as higher electronegative oxygen pulls two hydrogen atoms towards itself and gives the net dipole moment which brings a partial negative charge on O-atom and the partial positive charge on H-atoms and so there occurs polarity due to the bent shape.

Further, water is a covalent compound because the participating atoms are non-metals and so they share their electrons to complete their octet or duets. So, the water has been called a polar covalent compound.
