{wiki=Chemical_bonding_of_water}
Chemical bonding in water involves the formation of covalent bonds between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Each water molecule (H₂O) consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Here's a breakdown of the bonding involved: 1. **Covalent Bonding**: In a water molecule, each hydrogen atom shares one electron with the oxygen atom, resulting in two covalent bonds. This sharing allows all atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
