dear student
If the degree of polarization is quite small, an ionic bond is formed, while if the degree of polarization is large, a covalent bond results. The ability of a cation to distort an anion is known as its polarizationpowerand the tendency of the anion to become polarized by the cation is known as its polarizability.
