An electronegativity difference of less that 1.7 between the atoms
A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons. If two atoms have similar electronegativity values (general rule of thumb is if their electronegativity values is less than 1.67) than the two atoms are more likely to share electrons. This tends to happen between two non-metals. Ionic bonds form between two atoms with electronegativity value differences greater than 1.67. They involve a transfer of electrons. This occurs between a metal and nonmetal.
The shape of the molecule and The electronegativity differences of atoms in the molecule
A perfectly nonpolar bond is formed by two atoms with identical nuclei, and an at least moderately nonpolar bond is formed between two different atoms with very small differences in their electronegativity values.
This is the electronegativity of these atoms.
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.
Atoms with the lowest electronegativity values located on the leftmost part of the Periodic Table. The atom with the lowest electronegativity belongs to Francium.
If this difference is under 2 the bond is covalent; if the difference is over 2 the bond is ionic.
Nonpolar bonds show a Low electronegativity difference between atoms
