The type of bond represented between the bromine atoms in this Lewis structure is a non-polar covalent bond. There are four types of atomic bonds, the ionic bonds, the non-polar covalent bonds, the polar covalent bonds, and the hydrogen bonds. The non-polar covalent bonds usually consist of two similar types of atoms. In this situation, a non-metal atom paired with a non-metal atom resulting in a non-polar covalent bond.
