Are two atoms that have a large difference in electronegatives more likely to form a bond by sharing electrons or by transferring electrons?

When the difference in electronegativity is large, the tendency is for the more electronegative atom to take the electron and the less electronegative atom to give the electron. This results is an ionic bond as opposed to a covalent bond, where the electrons are shared. So, the answer to you question is they would form a bond by transferring electrons.

Two atoms with a large difference in electronegativities are more likely to form a bond by transferring electrons. This is because the more electronegative atom will attract the electron(s) towards itself, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges. This type of bond is known as an ionic bond.

Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
What is a chemical bond formed by the transferred electrons?
Ionic bonds are formed by transferring electrons, while covalent (molecular) are formed by sharing electrons.
What causes chemical bonds to form between atoms?
transferring or sharing electrons
