Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is covalent. This is determined because the compound begins with a nonmetal. When any compound begins with a nonmetal, it is covalent. If it were to begin with a metal, such as Magnesium Bromide, then it would be ionic due to the fact that the compound begins with a metal.

What type of bonding does sulphur hexafluoride have?

The bond Is Covalent which means it is formed from 2 non-metals reacting to form a molecule.
