This would most likely be a covalent or polar covalent bond, of course it depends on the electronegativity of the atoms involved. If they are two atoms of the same element the bond would be completely covalent, if the they were reasonably different in electronegativity (like Hydrogen and Oxygen) the the bond would be polar Covalent, and finally if the was a great difference in Electronegativity as exist between Hydrogen and Chlorine, the the bond would be Ionic. Generally the closer two elements are on the periodic table, the more covalent a bond between those elements will be.

Ionic: steel + Nonmetal Covalent: Nonmetal + Nonmetal If the electronegativity distinction is: > a million.7 = Ionic 4 < x < a million.7 = Polar Covalent < 4 = Nonpolar Covalent (Diatomics) A Coordinate Covalent bond will variety while one atom supplies the two electrons for a bond (As in NH3 + BF3 --> NH3BF3)
