Covalent bond is more common than ionic bond.
covalent bound
The most common chemical bonds are ionic (as in sodium chloride) or covalent (as in methane). The ionic bond is based on the electrostatic attraction; the covalent bond is based on the sharing of electrons.
sodium chloride is most definaltely an ionic bond
Lipton tea is a mixture not a chemical compound. It consists of a large number of chemical compounds and the most common chemical bond involved is covalent.

A covalent bond. Non-polar covalent is stronger than polar covalent as well.
Ionic
If electronegativity varies by more than 1.4 then you are most probably looking at an ionic bond. A variance less than 1.4 means, usually a covalent bond can be formed. This is a rule of thumb and is not always reliable. Metal to nonmetal; ionic. nonmetal to nonmetal; covalent.
The two main types of chemical bonds are the ionic bondand the covalent bond. Each is discussed here on WikiAnswers, and you'll find links below to the related questions.
Every bond formed show both ionic and covalent character to different extent. Even a bond formed between similar atoms show a slight ionic character as their electron distribution is most probably asymmetrical.
a non-polar covalent bond
Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms; ionic bonds involve the electrical attraction between atoms.
No, they are both halogens and nonmetals with a electronegativity too close together to form an ionic bond. They, if ever bonded, would form a covalent, or polar covalent bond.
