Explanation:

• Ionic bond: involves transfer of electrons, not sharing.
• Polar bond: electrons are shared unequally due to electronegativity difference.
• Nonpolar bond: electrons are shared equally (when electronegativity difference is zero or very small).
• Double bond: refers to two pairs of electrons shared, but doesn't address equal - sharing aspect.

Answer:

nonpolar bond
