It is a covalent compound held together by covalent bonds between the atoms.
This is because the molecule consists of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen atoms which are non metals. They prefer to share electrons instead as they are unable to lose electrons like metals in a conventional ionic bond.
