What type of bond would you expect to be formed between sodium and chlorine?
Typically, a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond. You can also go by electronegativity. The difference in electronegativity can be used to predict the type of bond between atoms. Elements with electronegativity differences between 1.6 and 2.0 form ionic bonds if a metal is involved. Elements with electronegativity differences of 2.0 or greater form ionic bonds.
How does electro negativity affect covalent bonds?
Increase in the difference in electronegativity along a bond increases the percent ionic character of the bond (how similar it is to an ionic bond). Small to intermediate differences would result in polar covalent bonds and large differences leads to the formation of an ionic bond rather than a covalent bond.
How would you use electronegativity values to predict if a bond will be principally ionic or covalent?
If the difference in the electronegativity between two atoms is more than 1.7, then the bond is ionic and if the difference is below 1.7, then the bond is covalent.
What bond is formed bwtween hydrogen and iodine?
The bond formed between hydrogen and iodine to produce HI is a polar covalent bond. One might think it would be ionic because of the large differences in electronegativity, but the strict definition of ionic would be a metal and a non metal. This is not the case in HI. So, strictly speaking it is covalent, but has a large degree of ionic character.
What type of bond has an electromagnetically difference of greater than 1.7?
Do you mean an electronegativity difference? Then this would be an ionic bond.

Would zinc and chlorine form ionic bonds?
No because the electronegativity difference between them is 1.4. In order for an ionic bond to occur, the electronegativity difference must be greater than or equal to 2.0.

If the difference in the electronegativity between two atoms is more than 1.7, then the bond is ionic and if the difference is below 1.7, then the bond is covalent.
What would fluorine have to combine with to form an ionic compound?
If fluorine combines with an element such that their electronegativity difference is more than 1.7, then they will form an ionic compound. Example:- Hydrogen fluoride is an ionic compound. Hydrogen has electronegativity of 2.1 and fluorine has 4.0. So, the difference is 1.9. Therefore, it is an ionic compound.

The bond formed between hydrogen and iodine to produce HI is a polar covalent bond.

So, strictly speaking it is covalent, but has a large degree of ionic character.
Would you expcet C-S to be an ionic bond?
No The electronegativity difference is only 0.03- so definitely covalent.
What type of bond has an electromagnetically difference of greater than 1.7?
Do you mean an electronegativity difference? Then this would be an ionic bond.
What bond would F - F be?
This would be an ionic bond. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is about 2.2 and the electronegativity of Fluorine is about 4.0. The difference is 1.8 which is greater than 1.7, the minimum difference for an ionic bond. Added: Or it is (at least) a very polar-covalent bond. Figures 1.7 or 1.8 are in the 'discussion' range
Is rubidium chloride an ionic compound?
Rubidium iodide is an ionic compound.
Would o and o form a polar covalent bond?
The electronegativity difference between Ba (EN 0.89) and oxygen (EN 3.44) is high and you would expect bonds to be ionic. Barium oxide is ionic.
Would BA and O form a polar covalent bond?
The electronegativity difference between Ba (EN 0.89) and oxygen (EN 3.44) is high and you would expect bonds to be ionic. Barium oxide is ionic.
