Aluminium bromide and aluminum iodide are similar in nature. However, aluminum fluoride is ionic. Why the difference in bonding? It all has to do with the difference in electronegativity of the elements:
Al & F - difference of 2.37
Al & Cl - difference of 1.55
Al & Br - difference of 1.35
Al & I - difference of 1.05
Generally, if the difference in electronegativity is greater than 2.0 then the bond will be ionic. If less than 2.0, then the bond will be covalent.
