Covalent because sulphur and oxygen both have six electrons on the outer shells so they can't give them away to be filled. they need to share.

note: Sulphur Dioxide has one sulphur atom and two oxygen atoms.

No. Carbon does not form ionic bonds, and in this case they are double-covalent bonds.


Is carbon oxide a ionic or covalent bond?

carbon monoxide is a covalent bond... covalent bonds involve non-metal with non-metal bonding... carbon and oxygen r non-metals...hence carbon oxide is a covalent bond...


Can Carbon and oxygen form an ionic bond?

No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form an ionic bond. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals that tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, the electrons are shared.


What type of bond would a carbon atom form covalent or ionic?

If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.
