What type of bond holds water molecules together?

Which of the following is the type of bond between molecules of water in a beaker of water ionic covalent or hydrogen bond?

• Answer:

  Bonds within the water molecule: Hydrogen and oxygen bond covalently. Nevertheless, due to oxygen being more electronegative than the hydrogen molecules, a net negative charge is held by the oxygen atom and positive charges are held by the hydrogen atoms. This leads us to Bonds between water molecules: Individual molecules of water bond with a hydrogen bond. The charges give way to an electrical attraction (or dipole) that also bonds the water molecules together.
