Question

what do you think determines whether two atoms bond covalently or ionically?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference between electronegativities of the reacting elements determines whether the bond would be ionic or covalent. A small difference would result in covalent bond while a bigger difference would result in an ionic bond.

Answer 2

Difference between electronegativities of the reacting elements determines whether the bond would beionic or covalent. A small difference would result incovalent bond while a bigger difference would result in anionic bond.
