If the atoms forming a covalent bond have different electronegativities, the atom with higher electronegativity pulls the
shared pair of electron towards itself. Thus, the atom with the higher electronegativity develops a partial negative charge and the atom with the lower electronegativity develops a partial positive charge. This covalent bond with some polarity is called polar covalent bond.

Since there is electronegativity difference between O and H present in water molecule, water is polar compound.
