The trick here is to use your electronegativeity to determine which are covalent.
LiF, or instance, is ionic
You figure the rest based on difference in electronegativity.
Hint: are any Gaseous? Those are probbbly covalent. If three are colvlent, and two are gases, one solid, look closely at the solid.

Thank doesn't help. I posted the question because I don't understand how to compare the electronegativity when there are molecules like AlH3.
