Best Answer: The bonds between oxygen and the hydrogen atoms within the water molecule are polar covalent bonds,i.e., the electrons are not shared equally between oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen has a higher affinity for electrons than does hydrogen.
Water, is one oxygen atom bonded to two different hydrogen atoms, H 2 O. When atoms are bonded together, (H 2, O 2, H 2 O etc.) we call the total structure a molecule. Hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms are found in many different molecules, and these different molecules make up, solids, liquids, and gasses.
