The active chemical in vinegar is acetic acid, with a formula often written as CH3COOH. In pure acetic acid, all of the chemical bonds are covalent, but in dilute solution in water, as in vinegar, some of the acetic acid dissociates into CH3COO-1 and H+1 ions, and the latter are so strongly associated with water molecules that they are often written as H3O+1 instead.

Please note that compounds never "are" bonds; instead they have or contain bonds! Compounds may be covalently or ionically bonded, but the compounds are not bonds themselves.

The bond between hydrogen and chlorine in HCl is a covalent bond because of the small difference in electronegativity between the two atoms. Furthermore it is a polar bond that is, a permanent dipole because of the asymmetrical arrangement of the positive and negative regions in the molecule.
