Quick Answer: The Covalent Bond in Water Model shows one oxygen atom joined to two hydrogen atoms by two O–H covalent bonds, helping students picture electron sharing in an H2O molecule.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Represents a single water molecule with its oxygen and hydrogen atoms
Each O–H bond is formed by one shared electron pair
Links oxygen's six valence electrons and hydrogen's one to bond formation
Introduces polar covalent bonding and unequal electron sharing

About This Product
Teachers identify the central oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms, then show how oxygen shares one electron pair with each hydrogen. The model supports lessons on valence electrons, Lewis structures and molecular polarity, and helps students separate the covalent bonds inside a water molecule from the hydrogen bonding that acts between molecules. The Covalent Bond in Water Model is available for supply within India and for export to Papua New Guinea, Ecuador, Luxembourg, Eritrea, Mongolia and Japan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why are the O–H bonds in water described as polar? The electrons in each O–H bond are not shared equally between oxygen and hydrogen. This unequal sharing makes the bond polar covalent, which the model helps teachers explain.
