Maybe because aluminum atom in Alcl3 does not attain octet arrangement...
thus, it undergoes dimerisation to produce al2cl6, where the aluminum atom achieve an octet electronic configuration.

Would you class the melting point of Aluminium high or low?
For metals it has a low melting point compared with iron or vanadium which melt at over 2000 degrees C
How does a catalyst speed a reaction at low temperatures?
Catalysts will lower the activation energy needed for a certain reaction to happen. For example in the extraction of Aluminium from Bauxite (Aluminium Oxide) The melting point of Al2O3 is about 2000oC. But with the catalyst Cryolite (Na3AlF6), the overall melting point is lowered to about 950oC,
Does salt usually have a low melting point?
Yes salts have a low melting point. I think...
What are the meterials used in fse wires?
Low temperature melting point materials like copper, aluminium, tin or lead are used to make the fuse wire. Zinc and antimony are also used because of their low melting points.
Does carbon have high melting point?
it has a low melting point

Naphthalene has high or low melting point?
low melting point
Does sodium chloride have a high or low boiling point?
Iodine, at p=p0,Boiling point 457.4 K,  184.3 °C(So I don't know if you'd call this high or low? compared with what?)However the difference with melting point of Iodine (386.85 K,  113.7 °C) is remarkably small (< 71oC) and the solid is quite vaporous far below its boiling point (Triple point 386.65K (113.5oC), 12.07 kPa, just below melting point).
Does salt usually have a low melting point?
Yes salts have a low melting point. I think...
Do solids have a high or low melting point?
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.

Low temperature melting point materials like copper, aluminium, tin or lead are used to make the fuse wire. Zinc and antimony are also used because of their low melting points.
What is specific resistance and melting point of fuse?
low resistivity and low melting point.
Why technetium and manganese have low melting point?
The melting point of technetium is 2 157 0C- it is not low.
Does carbon have high melting point?
it has a low melting point
Does polonium have a high or low melting point?
Polonium has a low melting point: 254 0C.
