Covalent Character
What determines if atoms/molecules have a "strong" covalent character? If the polarizing power (cations) is higher, then the covalent character is stronger? Does higher or lower polarizability of anions contribute as well when determining covalent character?

Re: Covalent Character
The strength of a covalent bond depends on two things: how strongly the positive ion (cation) pulls on the negative ion (anion) and how easily the anion’s electrons can be moved around
