Best Answer

ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between negatively charged ions and positively charged ions and the element O2 doesn't involve ions at all.

covalent means "sharing" so covalent bonding is two atoms sharing electrons and the kind of bonding in any molecular element such as O2 is covalnt bonds.

be careful that there is another type of cavalent bonds and it is called "giant covalent bonds" which is mainly found in silicon dioxide, graphite and diamond.
