NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question
Which factor contributes to the covalent character of an ionic bond?
Smaller cation size
Larger ionization energy
Increased bond length
Lower electronegativity
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The smaller the size of the cation and the larger the size of the anion, the greater the covalent character of an ionic bond. This is due to the increased polarizability of the anion by the small cation.
