The first answer is the electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms because the hydrogen atoms attract the electrons less strongly. The second answer is the oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does because the nucleus of the oxygen atom has more positively charged protons.
