The difference in electronegativity between the atoms that are bonded. A difference of more than about 1.7 indicates that the bond will be ionic. Health warning - this is only a rule of thumb.
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.
It is ionic
No, it is not a covalent bond. It is an Ionic bond.
