Polar Covalent.
Polar covalent. The difference in electronegtivity is insufficient for an ionic bond
Br2 is a covalent compound. It consists of two bromine atoms sharing electrons to form a 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.
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 bonds occur between two nonmetals that have similar electronegativities. Metals and nonmetals have significantly different electronegativities, so they tend to form ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds instead of non-polar covalent bonds. Metals usually donate electrons to nonmetals to achieve stability, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds due to the difference in electronegativities.

Sodium bicarbonate is an ionic compound.
Br2 is non polar covalent
The F-F bond (in F2) is covalent, and non polar covalent at that.

Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Polar Covalent bonds, Non-Polar Covalent bonds, and Metallic bonds.
Non-polar covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals that have similar electronegativities. Metals and nonmetals have significantly different electronegativities, so they tend to form ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds instead of non-polar covalent bonds. Metals usually donate electrons to nonmetals to achieve stability, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds due to the difference in electronegativities.
