Given the electronegativity of O is 3.5 and H is 2.1,  the bond between the two atoms will be classified as a polar covalent bond.

How are bonds classified?

According to the difference in electronegativity (ΔEN).

  • If ΔEN ≤ 0.4, the bond is nonpolar covalent.
  • If 0.4 < ΔEN ≤ 1.9, the bond is polar covalent.
  • If ΔEN > 1.9, the bond is ionic.

Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5 and hydrogen of 2.1. The difference in electronegativity is:

ΔEN = EN(O) - EN(H) = 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4

Given the electronegativity of O is 3.5 and H is 2.1,  the bond between the two atoms will be classified as a polar covalent bond.
