The bond between oxygen and hydrogen will be classified as polar covalent. This is because the electronegativity difference between the two atoms (3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4) is significant enough to create an uneven distribution of electrons, resulting in a partial negative charge on oxygen and a partial positive charge on hydrogen.
