Tin can have 2+ and 4+ oxidation sates.
-1 for each Cl, +2 for Sn
Sn=0
0 in the elemental form. +2 and +4 in its compounds
because tin is in +2 oxidation state (lower oxidation state of tin)
SnCl2 is tin chloride. You may be taught that "ionic naming" uses oxidation number in which case the name is tin(II) chloride.

+2. But its a close run thing- there are a lot of +4 compounds.
SnCl2 is tin chloride. You may be taught that "ionic naming" uses oxidation number in which case the name is tin(II) chloride.
+4 is the most common
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
Sn4+ is the symbol for Tin(IV), that is, the element tin with a oxidation state of 4.
Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
Tin has two oxidation states (II and IV), and exhibits approximately equal stability in both its II and IV oxidation state. The chemical formula Tin (II) Iodide is SnI2. The chemical formula for Tin (IV) Iodide is SnI4.
