Answer:

Water (H2O) is polar due to the  bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen is one one side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bonding.
