It's a COVALENT BOND!!

A Covalent Bond is what you have. It can only be Covalent if it has two nonmetals. Every compound of element is either ionic or covalent. This is due to the Law of Definite Proportion. 

Law of Definite Proportion- Any chemical compound  the elements are always combined in the same proportion by mass.
​
A COVALENT BOND:
*Is Composed of two nonmetals  
*They share an electron with another atom.

*The bond results in the negative electrons being attracted to the positive nucleus.

Examples:

1. SO2 - It is Covalent because it has two nonmetals.

2. S2 F12 - It is covalent because it has two nonmetals

​

3. FeO2 - It si IONIC because it has a metal and a nonmetal.​
