In a water molecule, oxygen (which is a quite more electronegative than hydrogen), tends to attract electrons close to it, so it gets a residual negative charge, while hydrogen gets positively charged.
That's the reason why water has a high boiling temperature, because water molecules establish electrostatic bonds, between the oxygen and hydrogen from different molecules, creating a kind of net of interactions, which make it harder to evaporate it.
the bond between the hydrogen atoms of hydrogen gas in which electrons are shared equally
No, A hydrogen atom has 1 electron, and oxygen atom has 8.
no
Shared electrons are equally shared
covalent bond because the electrons are shared equally
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
Oxygen is more electronegative; meaning that it has a 'liking' for electrons since it would like to fill up it's valency. Therefore it seeks to pull the electron between itself and carbon more strongly.
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all. They lie between the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. The shared electrons are typically near the middle of the bond between the 2 atoms, in a covalent bond. They may be slightly closer to 1 atom or the other, due to small differences in electronegativity.
are non covalent created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared
Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.

If a bond between atoms is covalent, then electrons are shared between them. If the bond is polar, that means the electrons are not shared equally (related to electronegativity).
Hydrogen
This is a nonpolar covalent bond.
This is the case of a true nonpolar covalent bond.
Shared electrons are equally shared
A bond in which electrons are equally shared is a non-polar covalent bond.
Electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds are shared equally between the atoms involved. Covalent bonds between atoms of the same element display this kind of bond. However, bonds between atoms of different atoms can be nonpolar as well. Such bonds include the covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen.
No, electrons are never shared or transferred in a hydrogen bond. A hydrogen bond is just an attraction between partially positive particles and partially negative particles.
A "nonpolar" covalent bond.
