Objective 9: ok now I think I understand these bonds a little bit better

I loved the illustration Mrs.Gess did in class with Ashley and Mike.
#1 Rule. Greedy,Grabby, Gassy=boys
Mike represented oxygen, Ashley and Mrs.Gess represented Hydrogen
Mike wanted their electrons but they were like yeah right whatever we're not giving them up so Mike tried to take them anyways but they never let go, so that shows that water forms a polar covalent bond.
Polar=pulls
Covalent=sharing
Hydrogen=giving
Oxygen=give me, give me, give me
This concept just now clicked after the illustration in  class and after Val further explained it to me. I see now after lecture why this type of bond is so important in water.
