Well, which one of those is a covalent bond?

Additionally, how do you label the nomenclature of two nonmetals. positive first, then negative. 

mono = 1
di = 2
tri = 3
and so forth..

Sorry I was away from the laptop for a while...and based off of what you've said I believe it's carbon dioxide since it's a covalent bond and it's labeled correctly....wow I feel slow...
Thank you for your help.
