    SO2 is not likely to be ionic.

    An ionic bond is most commonly formed between a metal and a non-metal.

    K (potassium) and Br (bromine) are a metal and non-metal pair.

    Al (aluminum) and Cl (chlorine) are a metal and non-metal pair.

    S (sulfur) and O (oxygen) are both non-metals, and likely formed a covalent bond instead of an ionic bond, which is common for two non-metals.

    SO2, since it is made of two non-metals.
