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.

Does sodium chloride have a high or low boiling point?

Iodine, at p=p0,Boiling point 457.4 K, &ensp;184.3 &deg;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, &ensp;113.7 &deg;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).


What is a compound that's has a low melting point and is ionic and covalent?

One example of a compound with both ionic and covalent character is ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). It has a low melting point due to its ionic interactions between ammonium cations and chloride anions and covalent interactions within the ammonium ion itself.
