How do you know if a pair of elements is going to react to form an ionic bond or covalent bond?

Generally, if the difference of electronegativity between the two elements are less than 1.7 according to Pauling's scale, they form a covalent bond or otherwise an ionic bond. Although there are exceptions such as hydrogen fluoride (which is covalent but the electronegativity difference is 1.9 approximately).
