Detailed Solution

Covalent character is favoured by Fajans' rule.(i) Larger the charge on the ions.(ii)Smaller the size of cations,(iii)Larger the size of anions(iv) Cation with 18-electron structure e.g.,  Cu+, then larger the polarizing power and the covalent character is favoured. In all the given compounds, anion is same Cl−, hence polarizing power is decided by size and charge of cation. Al3+ with maximum charge and smallest size has maximum polarizing power hence, AlCl3 has maximum covalent character.
