Why is aluminum fluoride ionic whilst aluminium iodide covalent

Answers

Answered by Anonymous

Answer:

Aluminium iodide is covalent because the electron pair is easily dragged away from the iodide ion. On the other hand, aluminium fluoride is ionic because the aluminium ion can't polarise the small fluoride ion sufficiently to form a covalent bond.
