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