The bond formed between hydrogen and iodine to produce HI is a polar covalent bond. One might think it would be ionic because of the large differences in electronegativity, but the strict definition of ionic would be a metal and a non metal. This is not the case in HI. So, strictly speaking it is covalent, but has a large degree of ionic character.
The hydrogen fluoride (HF) is formed.

Another nonmetal, such as Hydrogen, could combine with Iodine to form a covalent bond, which is when the two elements share electrons.
The type of weak bond formed from the attraction of opposite charges between hydrogen and other atoms is called a hydrogen bond. It is a result of electrostatic attraction.
Covalent bond is formed between the two atoms (hydrogen and iodine) in HI.
One covalent bond is between iodine and hydrogen.
Calcium iodine is formed when calcium reacts with iodine. Ca(s) + I2(s) --> CaI2(s)
covalent bond
The atomic number is not what dictates how many bonds it will form with hydrogen. Iodine is in group 7A (XVII) and so it has 7 valence electrons. It wants 1 more, and so it will share the 1 electron that hydrogen has. It thus will make ONE bond with hydrogen, to form hydrogen iodide, HI.
Iodine and Carbon form a covalent bond. Moreover, this bond is nonpolar. Cheers, Caroline
