This question doesn't make sense. For a bond to form, you must have a compound such as NaCl. To determine the number of bonds, the Lewis structure must be drawn. It is a single bond, so that means that the bond type is a sigma bond.

A second opinion:

The questioner may be asking about the bonding in sodium metal. The bonding in metals is, not surprisingly, referred to as metallic bonding. The "free" electrons are delocalized and can move easily through the metal, allowing for electrical and heat conduction.

sodium and oxygen bond ionically, to make sodium oxide - the sodium transfers 2 electrons (one from each atom) to the oxygen atom (because sodium atoms (Na) have one electron in each outer shell). Each sodium atom becomes posititvely charged - (+) - and the oxygen atom becomes negatively charged - (2-).

There is metallic bonding in sodium metal. Metallic bonding can be described as the electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged metal cations and the sea of mobile delocalised electrons. The structure of metals is termed giant metalic structure.

its ionic bond , because its bond between metal and non-metal
sodium is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal
so bonding between metals and non-metals called ionic bond
