draw a diagram of the water molecule. then draw where the electrons are to show it's covalent.
so does that mean its lewis structure, which would be:
..
H- O -H
..
but where would the electrons go?
Many pictures of H2O here:

but which one shows the electons

To draw the Lewis structure of a water molecule (H2O) and show the covalent bonds, you can use the following diagram:
H: | | :H
O
H: | | :H
In this diagram, the central oxygen atom is surrounded by two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom is bonded to the oxygen atom by a pair of electrons forming covalent bonds. The electrons are represented by dots or a straight line, indicating the shared pair of electrons between the atoms.
For a more visual representation, you can refer to the images on Google or the link you provided. However, it is important to note that Lewis structures typically use dots or lines to represent electrons rather than explicitly labeling them as "electrons."
Here is an image from the provided link (http://www.promotega.org/UGA06004/covalent_bonds.html) that shows a representation of the water molecule's Lewis structure, indicating the covalent bonds:
O
|
H - H
In this structure, the dots represent the pairs of electrons around the oxygen atom (O), and the lines represent the covalent bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
It is essential to understand that Lewis structures are simplified representations of atoms and molecules used to illustrate the sharing or transfer of electrons in chemical bonding.
