SiF4 bond type?

:Structure of SiF4 is a regular tetrahedron, any regular geometry has net zero dipole moment as all individual dipole in a molecule cancel the effect of each other. About paramagnetic behaviour of oxygen gas, according to the Molecular Orbital theory oxygen has two unpaired electron in its Pi anti bonding molecular orbital, which is the cause of their paramagnetism.


What type of bonding is in the compound Chloride?

Chlorine can be involved in both ionic and covalent bonding. As it is a chloride, I would believe it to be a ionic bond, as a covalent bond would state the number of chloride atoms, e.g. dichloride.

What type of bonding is silicon tetrafluoride?

SiF4 is a covalent molecule. The rule that a bond is ionic if the difference in electronegativities is >1.7 is only a rule-of-thumb. It has a low melting point etc. and all the characteristics of a covalent molecular substance. The covalent bonds however are very polarised and SiF4 is rapidly hydrolysed by water.
