Bond length is the measurable distance between two covalently bonded atoms. This measurable distance is an average, as the distance between atoms bounded together can change. Electrostatic forces, where opposites attract, contribute to the strength of a bond.
Water is a polar molecule, with the oxygen (red) being the negative area and the hydrogen (white) being the more positive area. Opposite charges attract. The bond lengths give some indication of the bond strength. A normal covalent bond is 0.96 Angstroms, while the hydrogen bond length is is 1.97 A.
