Paragraph–1
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally & the bonded atoms aquire a partial positive and negative
charge is called a polar covalent bond, bond polarity is described interms of ionic character similarly in ionic bond
some covalent character is introduced because of the tendency of the cation to polarize the anion the magnitude of
covalent character in the ionic bond depends upon the extent of polarization caused by cation.

Paragraph–2

The deformation of valence shell of an anion when it comes near a cation is called polarization and ability of the
cation to polarize anion is called polarizing power of cation. This phenomenon is responsible for incorporation of
covalent character in ionic bond. Polarizing power of a cation increases with its charge and small size. Affecting
polarization larger anions Fajan and are known as Fajan’s rules.
(A) Greater is the polarization in a molecule, more is covalent character.
(B) As the charge on cation increases, its tendency to polarize the anion increases.
(C) As the size of the cation decreases or the size of anion increases, the polarization increases.
(D) The cations with 18 electrons in the outermost shell bring about greater polarization of the anion than those
with inert gas configuration even if both the cations have same size and same charge.
