Answer:

Three electrons of aluminium and three electrons of chlorine constitute 6 electrons in outermost orbit. So, It doesn't form an octet ( eight electrons in outermost orbit) by doing so, thus it can take two more electrons by forming a coordinate bond to complete an octet and thus it behaves as Lewis acid.
