It is a non-polar covalent bond.

O - C - O The oxygen atoms have a delta- charge, and the carbon a delta+ charge. Because the negative charges pull the electron cloud into different directions, it has no side which is more electronegative than the other. Therefore it is a non-polar covalent bond.

What is the increasing ordor of electronegativity in ionic bond and polar covalent bond and non polar covalent bond?

The increasing order of electronegativity in bonds is lowest for nonpolar covalent bonds, followed by polar covalent bonds, and highest for ionic bonds. In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference between atoms is minimal, whereas in polar covalent bonds, there is a moderate electronegativity difference leading to partial charges. Ionic bonds have the highest electronegativity difference, resulting in complete transfer of electrons.
