Answer

Covalent

Van Der waals

Step-by-step explanation

Iodine is a non-metallic element, two atoms of iodine can combine together by sharing valence electrons. Such a combination is known as covalent bonding. The molecular lattice of iodine consists of a neat arrangement of molecules in the crystal lattice which is held together by weak intermolecular forces.

Iodine, being a non-polar molecule, the weak intermolecular bonding is due to instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions called Van Der Waals.
