Factors that promote covalent character in ionic bonds are:
1. Small size of cation- when size of cation is small the valence electrons are closer to nucleus so it attracts the electron toward itself .
2. Large size of anion- when anion is larger, electronegativity decreases and there remains instability in atom the gained electron is far away from nucleas so the bond is weak electron density stays in middle of the bonded atoms this brings about covalent character in ionic bond
