What might two Group 16 non metals likely form? A covalent bond, double bond, or ionic bond?

Alright, look at Group 16, which is also Group 6A. How many valence electrons does one atom contain of those elements?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

one atom of those elements contain* Err...

OpenStudy (a1234):
