The bond that would form between Cs and Cl can be described as A an ionic bond because both atoms are strongly attracted to each other's electrons but will not let go of their own electrons, therefore they share the electrons. B an ionic bond because the Cl atom pulls electrons off the Cs atom resulting in a positive ion and negative ion that are attracted to each other. C a covalent bond because both atoms are strongly attracted to each other's electrons but will not let go of their own electrons, therefore they share the electrons. D a covalent bond because the Cl atom pulls electrons off the Cs atom resulting in a positive ion and negative ion that are attracted to each other.

Answer is: B an ionic bond because the Cl atom pulls electrons off the Cs atom resulting in a positive ion and negative ion that are attracted to each other.

Ceasium is alkaline metal, with low electronegativity, which means it easily gives one electron, and forms positive cation and chlorine is nonmetal, with high electronegativity, it gains electron and forms negative anion.
