Water molecules have covalent bonds. Each molecule consists of two hydrogen and oxygen covalent bonds. However, when water molecules are placed together, as they are normally, the hydrogen atoms in each molecule can form hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atom of other molecules.

Covenant bonds are the bonds between the atoms within the same water molecule. All molecules have covalent bonds, but only some molecules have hydrogen bonds.
