In the ionic bond, the cation tend to polarise the electron cloud of the anion by pulling electron density towards itself. This causes development of covalent character in ionic bond because the electron density gets localised in between the nuclei. The tendency of cation to bring about the polarisation of anion is expressed as its polarising power. The ability of ion to undergo polarisation is called its polarisability
