A covalent bond is a bond formed by atom sharing.

In water molecule, there are twice the number of hydrogen atoms than the oxygen atoms. Its structure is H-O-H. The electronegative difference between the H and O allows them to be polar because on side there is positive charge and on another side there is negative charge.
