Point well taken.
Though when I said that H2O is a molecule with a covalent bond I was simply pointing out the most basic unit of a molecular compound, the molecular compound H2O is made up of many molecules of H2O.
Anyway you sound like you're on the right track as far as electron structure goes, but it would take me to long to explain it, so here's a link to an excellent site that explains it all comprehensively.
