Answer:
Ionic bond

Step-by-step explanation:
When the electronegativity between the two atoms is very large (usually greater than 2.1), this can lead to total transfer of electron from the higher electronegative atom to the lower one.
The total transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bond.
