When the size of anion is larger, valency electron are less tightly held by its nucleus.Therefore more effectively the cation pulls the valence electron towards its nucleus. This result in more polarized effect. That is, for the same charge of the anion, larger sized anion is more polarized than a smaller sized anion.
Covalent character: LiF< LiCl< LiBr< LiI
