When electronegativity difference is greater than zero, one element is electropositive and one element is electronegative. So, it is clearly more convenient and stable to form bonds by transfer of electrons instead of sharing of electrons. So, ionic bonds are formed

Explanation:
f E.N difference is greater than 1.7 the compound is said to be ionic. In covalent bonding, the E.N difference is less than 1.7. Covalent bond formation does not necessarily need same sized atoms.
