I don’t know it is just written like this in my inorganic book
If I may know, is this A level or GCSE?
by more covalent, do you mean which has more bonds? If so, then Co2O3, In2S3, CrCl3 are more covalent because it has more bonds compared to the one each one is being compared with

Hope this helps.
This is a weird question though
A bond being more covalent doesn't mean it has more bonds...
Which is more covalent between these compounds and why A.... CoO or Co2O3 B.... In2S or In2S3 C.... CrCl2 or CrCl3
There is greater tendency towards covalency as the oxidation state gets larger. This is because the higher charge density of the positive ion distorts the ionic charge cloud.
