Identifying the Type of Chemical Bonding

Very Hard General Chemistry Chemical Bonding

Consider a hypothetical molecule formed by elements X and Y. Element X has an electronegativity of 3.0, while element Y has an electronegativity of 1.0. Based on these values, which type of bonding is most likely to occur between these two elements?

To determine the type of bond, consider the differences in electronegativity and how they influence the nature of the bond formed (ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent).
