The bonds S-S, O-H and Ca-Cl are, respectively,
a.nonpolar covalent, polar covalent, ionic
b.polar covalent, nonpolar covalent, ionic
c.ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent
d.nonpolar covalent, ionic, ionic
S-S Bond:
S is a non metal. Generally bond between two non metals is covalent. And also here both the elements are same. So equal sharing takes place between the atoms. Hence S-S Bond is non polar.
O-H bond:
This a covalent bond.(both are non metals) But there is an electronegative difference between O and H. So it is a polar covalent bond.
Ca-Cl bond:
Here the bond is between metal and nonmetal. In this complete transfer of electrons takes place. So Ca-Cl bond is ionic
