Answer:

None of polar, ionic or covalent bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Group VA elements are Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), metalloid antimony (Sb) and bismult (bi). They cannot form bond with group VIIIA element because the elements in this group ( VIIIA ) are inert gases. They have octet configuration ( except helium which has duplet configuration) which means their shell is complete and therefore cannot participate in ordinary chemical reactions. Chemical reactions occur through gaining, sharing, or losing of electron to achieve stable oxidation (octet configuration) which the group VIIIA elements already have. They are also called group 18 and group 8 A.
