alcl3 is not ionic... its co-valent because the polarizing power of al is so high that it attracts the cl electron cloud with such intensity that it causes electron sharing... chlorine is easy to polarize due to weak effective nuclear charge as it has more itnrvning electrons... ( i hope it helped =))
