Answer:
Thank you for asking this question.AY will be electrovalent and XY will be covalent compound.
Explanation:
As you said X and Y are highly electronegative,so X and Y are both non metals .Nonmetal_Nonmetal bond makes up a covalent bond whereas as A is a metal ,AY makes up an electrovalent bond. I hope I have cleared your doubts.

Electrovalent compounds are characterized by having ionic bonds between oppositely charged ions. This ionic bond consists of the electrostatic attraction between the two opposite charges.
covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
