Which of the following characterizes an ionic bond? A. A small electronegativity of each of the atoms in the bond
B. A large electronegativity of each of the atoms in the bond
C. An electronegativity difference of less than 1.7 between two
atoms
D. An electronegativity difference of greater than 1.7 between two
atoms

option A

I think so good night sweet dreams

B. A large electronegativity of each of the atoms in the bond

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)

it's filtration, but this is an assumption so my apologies if i got this
