Answer

The bond type found in water (H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}) is polar covalent.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so it attracts the shared electrons in the covalent bonds more strongly. This unequal sharing of electrons creates a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom and partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms, resulting in a polar molecule.
