Answer:

Water is a polar covalent compound since it has Oxygen and Hydrogen which are 2 non-metals and the atoms have an unequal distribution of charge. Oxygen has δ- since it is more electronegative and Hydrogen has δ+. The shape of the water molecule is not symmetrical and dipoles are cancelled out making it a polar covalent compound.
