The chemical formula is composed of hydrogen and oxygen where the two atoms are bonded through hydrogen bond type of bonding. In this pair, the oxygen is the more electronegative atom hence the electrons are more directed to it. Because of this, this creates electron polarity which affects the chemical property of water.
