why sncl4 is a covaleny liquid
zander07:
it is because the oxidation state of Sn cahnges from 2 to 4, which increases the ionisation potential of Sn ,thus making Sn -Cl bond covalent. Moreover the bonds of Sn-Cl are held by weak vander waals forces due to covalent nature.

SnCl4 is molecular, and held together by weaker intermolecular forces called London dispersion forces. ✔️✔️

_____________________________
the ionization potential of the central atom(here Sn) increases this makes the Sn-Cl bonds more covalent in SnCl4 compared to SnCl2- Fajan's rules. Hence the SnCl2 molecules due greater ionic character are closely packed* whereas in SnCl4 the molecules show weaker London forces of interaction due covalent nature.
