Electronegativity is the measure of a tendency of an atom to attract the bonding pairs of electrons.

Electronegativity is a measure of how badly an atom wants electrons. The higher an atom's electronegativity, the more greedy it is for electrons, the more it wants to try to steal them from other atom's. This involves a concept called ionic bonding because there are electron givers and electron takers. This has to do with whether an element is a metal or a nonmetal.

Metals are very generous and are willing to let go of or give there electrons away. On the other hand, nonmetals don't give up their electrons.

Answer:

From least polar covalent to most polar covalent;

S-I< Br-Cl < N-H< Te-O

From most ionic to least ionic

Cs-F> Sr-Cl> Li- N> Al-O

Explanation:

Electro negativity refers to the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electro negativity difference between two atoms is a key player in the nature of bond that exists between any two atoms. A large difference in electron negativity leads to an ionic bond while an intermediate difference in electro negativity leads to a polar covalent bond.

Based on electro negativity differences, the bonds in the answer have been arranged in order of increasing polar covalent nature or decreasing ionic nature.
