Answer:

Two or more nonmetals.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are following kinds of compound or bond

a) ionic : formed between a metal and a nonmetal.

Example : Sodium chloride.

Here sodium is metal and chlorine is non metal.

b) metallic: formed between metal and metal.

Example: iron

c) molecular or covalent compounds: these are formed between two non metals.

Example: H₂O

Here both hydrogen and oxygen are non metallic.
