Yes, carbon dioxide is a covalent molecule. It consist of a carbon atom, which forms a double covalent bond to two oxygen atoms around it. The angles between the bonds are 180o and as such carbon dioxide is a linear molecule.

Yes, the carbon dioxide molecule has a covalent bond. Carbon and oxygen both belong to the nonmetal category of elements, and they both have a relatively high electronegativity, meaning that they each have a relatively strong attraction for electrons, so the oxygen is not able to take electrons away from the carbon (to form an ionic bond). The only other kind of bond they can form is covalent, in which electrons are shared rather than being transferred.
