    Because Aluminum by loosing electron to form ion it's nuclear effective charge increase hance more pull to it's corresponding valence she'll thus appear smaller

    While

    Chlorine due to gaining of electron to form ion it's effective nuclear charge decrease thus less pull to it's corresponding valence hence appear large relatively
