Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of covalent bond found between oxygen and hydrogen in water molecules is a polar covalent bond because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. This means that oxygen attracts the shared pair of electrons in the bond more strongly than hydrogen, resulting in a slightly negative charge on the oxygen atom and a slightly positive charge on the hydrogen atom, creating a polar molecule.
