Answer:

nonpolar covalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing their electronegativities will help determine the type of bond. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The difference in electronegativity (ΔEN) is used to determine bond type. Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and sulfur has 2.58. The difference is 0.38,so the electrons are shared in a nonpolar covalent bond.
