polar covalent bond

because the shared electrons have even a preference and stay in their trip around the atoms in the molecule a little bit longer near the oxygen nucleus than the hydrogen ones.

making the oxygen "side" a little bit negatively charged, and the hydrogen "side" a little bit positively charged.
