Answer:
Difference of electronegativity between the two atoms is 1.8 so the bond would be predominantly ionic and less covalent. For a bond to be 50% ionic and 50% covalent, the difference between electronegativities should be equal to 1.7.
The electronegativity difference between the two atoms is 3.0−1.2=1.8. It is large, hence, the bond formed is an ionic bond...
