In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. The positively charged ions are called cations and the negatively charged ions are called anions.

Water is a polar molecule, and its intramolecular bonds are polar covalent. To put it simply, the bonding is covalent, and not ionic, because both hydrogen and oxygen are nonmetals (at standard temperature and pressure). It is a polar molecule because of its molecular shape and because of the disparity in the electronegativities of hydrogen and oxygen. In fact, because hydrogen is so much less electronegative than oxygen, there is a strong intermolecular force known as hydrogen bonding present in water. Hydrogen bonding is an exceptional case of dipole-dipole interactions.

Intermolecular - Hydrogen bonding (we can see there's an H and the Oxygen.

Intramolecular: covalent; nonmetals

is this intERmolecular as the bond polarity causing hydrogen bond is between molecules.
