It is helpful to think of chemical bonding as being on a sliding scale, where at one extreme there is pure covalent bonding, and at the other there is pure ionic bonding. Most chemical bonds lie somewhere between those two extremes. When a chemical bond is formed between two elements, the differences in the electronegativity of the atoms determine where on the sliding scale the bond falls.
