an element with an electronegativity of 0.9 with an element w/an electronegativity of 3.1?

which of the following phrases best described the bond between these elements?

mostly covalent/ionic in character and formed between a meet and one/two nonmetals

Since the difference in electronegativities is so high the bond will be ionic. Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals.

ionic in character; covelent bonds are between elements wiith small electronegativity difference (the elements then share the electron rather than transfer to one or the other element)
