The covalent character increases in groups as we go from top to bottom. It decreases in periods as we go from left to right. It increases in groups as the electrons get further away from the nucleus the attractive forces between the positive charge of the nucleus and negative charge of the electrons decreases.
Covalent character depends on the size of cation and anion.
