    Which of the following has covalent bond [AFMC 1988; DCE 2004]

    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 change) According to Fajan's rule, small cation polarise anion upto greater extent. Hence \[A{{l}^{3+}}\] polarise \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ion upto greater extent, therefore \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\] has covalent bond between \[Al\] and Cl atoms.
