Q. If true enter 1, else enter 0.
Compounds composed of highly polarising cations and highly polarisable anions have a significant covalent character in their bonding.

State True or False.

For a given cation, greater the polarisability of the anion, more the covalent character.

Q. Assertion :Compounds formed between non-metal are largely covalent in character.
Reason: Non-metals readily form anions.

Q. ______ cation and ______ anion favour least covalent character.

Q. Which has maximum covalent character?
1. NaCl 2.SiCl4 3.AlCl3 4.MgCl2

Isn't SiCl4 the answer? Because covalent character is inversely proportional to polarisation and polarisation is inversely proportional to size of the atom. Since out if these, Si is the largest in is have the least polarisation and thus will result in the highest covalent character.

is this correct? If not, why not?
