What kind of bond is the bond between hydrogen and oxygen?

Answer 1

A (very) polar covalent bond.

See the Related Questions to the left for more information about how to determine what kind of bond is formed between any two atoms.

Answer 2

Each hydrogen atom forms a double bond with the oxygen atom. Each H atom has one double bond and free electrons
The O atom has two double bonds (one with each H atom)
Since the atoms are sharing electrons, the bonds are considered covalent.
Also, since water molecules are polar (there is a positive charge at one end and a negative charge toward the other end) the bonds are also polar covalent bonds.

Imagine that the 4 dots next to each H atom are the electrons that are positioned around it.
The = sign represents the double bond Hydrogen has with Oxygen
The water molecule forms kind of a V shape in reality - not a straight line.

Answer 3

I am assuming you are talking about the bonds in water.

It is a covalent bond, and the structure is covalent molecular. This means that the Hydrogen atoms are sharing two electrons each with the oxygen atom. This makes sure that all atoms have a full outer shell. (each hydrogen has 2, and the oxygen has 8)

Covalent bonds usually result in gasses, but the bigger they get, the more likely it is to be a liquid. In water, there is a special other sort of bonding called hydrogen bonding, which results from the difference in electronegativies of Hydrogen and oxygen. This makes the bonds stronger, which makes it a liquid, even though it is a tiny molecule. Hope this helps

Answer 4

The bond is a covalent bond like in water.

Answer 5

The bond that forms between hydrogen and oxygen atoms is polar covalent.

Answer 6

Polar Covalent

Answer 7

Covalent bond
