Question

Explain why sncl4 is more boiling point than sncl2

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, also remember as the charge on metal cation increases its polarising power also increases hence the molecule acquires a colvalent character. Now between SnCl4 and SnCl2 , SnCl4 will be covalent whereas SnCl2 will be ionic . ... This is because of ionic character of SnCl2, which produces ions in aqueous soution.
