Answer:

Li+ ion is small in size with more change density among alkali metal ions. So according to Fajan's rule it has more polarising power. l-ion is bigger anion among haldide ions and can undergo more polarisation. So the lithium iodide is more covalent among alkali metal halides.

Explanation:

lithium iodide is more covalent than lithium chloride because the electronegativity in halogens is in the following sequence F>Cl>Br>I.
