No. This is an ionic bond. Look at the electronegativity Cl (3.0) - Sr (1.0) = 2.0; 0.0 to 0.4 is covalent, 0.4+ to 1.7 is polar-covalent and above 1.7 is ionic. You can also assume that a metal and non-metal will form an ionic bonds.

Ionic Compound. The Sr is a CATION of 2+ and the Cl2 is a ANION of 1-. Also ionic compounds usually are of a metal and nonmetal. Sr is a metal and Cl2 is a nonmetal. This is why SrCl2 is ionic.

You mean SrBr2. Sr is an alkaline earth metal, which means it can lose 2 electrons to from a cation with a +2 charge. The Bromine is a halogen, which can gain 1 electron to form an anion with a -1 charge. SrBr2 is the correct chemical formula because you need 2 bromines to neutralize the charges. Since ions are involved in this chemical bond, it is an ionic bond.
