CS2, or carbon disulfide, is definitely covalent. Think about it like this: both carbon and sulfur are non-metals. When non-metals bond, they share electrons instead of transferring them, which is exactly what happens in covalent bonds. So, CS2's bonding is all about sharing – like good friends sharing a pizza!

Covalent for sure. Ionic bonds happen between metals and non-metals. CS2 doesn't fit that bill since it's all non-metal action between carbon and sulfur.

It's covalent. No way it's ionic because that's not how carbon rolls with its buddies.
