The answer would be non-polar covalent.
Bromine is a non-metal, making the bond covalent.
The bond is non-polar because there is no unequal sharing between electrons because both elements in the bond are the same; they have the sane electro negativities.

Answer: non polar covalent

Step-by-step explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. Example:
NaCl

Metallic bond is the bond formed between the nucleus of metal and the free electrons. Example:
Na

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. Example:
HCl

A non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.Example:
Br_2

Water being polar only dissolves polar substances in it and hence bromine cannot dissolve in water.
