Question

Sncl2 is solid but sncl4 is liquid
Explain.

Answer 1

as the oxidation state of a metal increases,its electronegrativity increases and the bonds become increasingly covalent.Sncl2 forms a network solid were the atoms are bonded to one another through a network of polar covalent bonds.Sncl4 is molecular, and held together by weaker intermolecular forces called London dispersion force
