using electronegativity difference is a good guide to the ionic /covalent nature. Large differences indicate greater ionic character, small differences more covalent character.
Ionic, When trying to figure out the type of bond just use this simple rule. If the atoms are two nonmetals then the bond is covalent. If one of the atoms is nonmetal and the other is a metal then the bond will be ionic. This is due to differences in electronegativity.

Covalent bond is generally formed when non metals bond with each other.In general, when the electronegativity between two atoms is less than 1.7, then covalent bond is formed between the two atoms.
covalent because same electronegativity.

true
A covalent bond occurs when there is a large difference in electronegativity between two atoms for example. Fluorine is very electronegative (as it is a non metal) and Hydrogen is not as electronegative. in fact there is a large difference in the electronegativity values. Therefore, a covalent bond occurs.
nonpolar covalent
These atoms have a very similar electronegativity.
