Solution

Increasing covalent character of $N a C l, M g {C l}_{2}, A l {C l}_{3}$ is $N a C l < M g {C l}_{2} < A l {C l}_{3}$ .
As the charge on the cation increases, the electrostatic attraction of the cation for the outer electrons of the anions also increases. Due to this, the ability for forming covalent bond increases.
