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.
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic 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.
Br2 is a covalent compound. It consists of two bromine atoms sharing electrons to form a covalent bond.
An ionic bond - sodium and iodine form NaI, containing Na+ and I- ions.
Covalent- the small difference in electronegativity is the reason.

Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
The F-F bond (in F2) is covalent, and non polar covalent at that.

BeF2 is a covalent compound. Beryllium (Be) is a metal and fluorine (F) is a non-metal, which results in a polar covalent bond between them.
Non-polar Covalent Triple Bond
Calcium hydroxide is ionic, and therefore polarity does not occur.
