Bonds formed between 2 non metals are mainly covalent bonds. A metal and a non metal form ionic bonds. The type of covalent bond formed between 2 non metals can vary from polar to non polar and everything in between. They can also be dative (coordinate covalent) where 1 element provides both of the shared electrons.
