The greater the difference in electronegativity between two covalently bonded atoms, the greater the bond's percentage of ionic character.
Explanation:
Bond polarity (i.e the separation of electric charge along a bond) and ionic character (amount of electron sharing) increase with an increasing difference in electronegativity.
Therefore, we can say that, the greater the difference in electronegativity between two covalently bonded atoms, the greater the bond's percentage of ionic character.
