Question

how covalent character increases when polarising power
increases

Anuradha Puri · Accepted Answer

Polarising power is the tendency of a cation to distract the
electron cloud of anion towards itself Thus, with the increase in
polarizing power, the electron cloud of the anion is distracted
more and more towards the cation which results in delocalization of
electron cloud between the cation and anion as in covalent
compounds So, covalent character increases when polarising power
increases
