Diatomic homonuclear molecules are hydrogen H2, oxygen O2, nitrogen N2, fluorine F2, chlorine Cl2, bromine Br2, iodine I2 and (theoretically) astatine At2. Diatomic heteronuclear molecules encompass a broader range of compounds such as carbon monoxide CO, hydrogen chloride HCl, lithium iodide LiI, cyanide CN and calcium oxide CaO.
All diatomic substances have covalent bonds even diatomic metal molecules such as sodium molecules (>2000 K).
Diatomic molecules have non-polar covalent bonds and are non-polar molecules
Every halogen can form their molecules by a single covalent bond.
All halogen molecules (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2) are bonded with a single covalent bond, this bond is not ionic but molecular.ionic molecules (do not exist) are joined. this is because when a diatomic molecule it transforms to a ionic molecule when its joined by a single covalent bond.
H2 is purely covalent, as are all diatomic molecules consisting of only one element.

Yes, oxygen is a diatomic normally. It forms a diatomic molecule with the formula O2. It is held together with a double covalent bond.
