    Which of the following has covalent bond?

    A)                  \[N{{a}_{2}}S\]                

    B)                  \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]

    C)  NaH                                     

    D)  \[MgC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     We know that \[A{{l}^{3+}}\] cation is smaller than \[N{{a}^{+}}\] (because of greater nuclear charge). According to Fajans rule, small cation polarise anion upto greater extent. Hence, \[A{{l}^{3+}}\]polarise \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions upto greater extent, therefore \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] has covalent bond between Al and Cl-atoms.
