I realy need someone to answer this quick. it's fine if you can't though

The correct order of answers goes:

Explanation:

Ionic - Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal (typically). Nonmetals are typically more electronegative elements because they are seeking to gain electrons to achieve atomic stability while metals want to give up electrons to those elements to become atomically stable. Therefore, the nonmetals are much more electronegative in comparison to the metals.

Electronegativity - Electronegativity is used mathematically to predict the type of bond that will occur between elements. The larger electronegativity has the smaller electronegativity subtracted from it to give us a number that we then apply to ranges within a table and try to decipher what kind of bond will be formed.

Metallic - This plays into both explanations already given. Metallic bonds will form between metals, meaning their electronegativities will be much lower. Higher differences between electronegativities (anything above 1.7) is considered ionic, while anything from 0.1 to 1.69 is considered covalent (these split to make polar and nonpolar covalence).

Cation - Cation is the term for a positively charged ion. It comes from cathode (a scientist completed an experiment with the cathode ray tube where they accelerated positively charged particles throughout it).
