Solution

The correct option is A Ionic
When hydration energy is greater than ionization energy, the bond is ionic. When lonization energy is greater than hydration energy the bond is covalent.
$Hydration energy = - 4665 - 3 \times 381 = - 5808 k J m o l^{- 1}$
lonization energy = $+ 5137 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$∴ Hydration energy + lonization energy = - 5808 + 5137$
$= - 671 k J m o l^{- 1}$
Hydration energy is greater than Ionization energy
$∴ A l C l_{3}$ becomes ionic in aqueous solution.
