  • Ionicity of Chemical Bonds: Most to Least
    Most ionic:

    - Alkali metals and halogens (e.g., NaCl)

    - Alkaline earth metals and halogens (e.g., CaF2)

    Less ionic:

    - Alkali metals and oxygen (e.g., Na2O)

    - Alkaline earth metals and oxygen (e.g., CaO)

    Least ionic:

    - Covalent bonds (e.g., H2, Cl2)

    The more electronegative the difference between two atoms, the more ionic the bond will be.
