Answer Details
The electronegativity difference between two elements determines the type of bond that can be formed between them. When the difference in electronegativity is large, one element attracts the electrons in the bond more strongly than the other, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond. Therefore, if the difference between the electronegativities of two elements is large, the type of bond that can be formed between them is ionic.
