    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.
