apply fazan's rule,
greater the charge on cation more is the polarising power and hence more covalent character
polarising power of pb4+>pb2+
thus pbcl4 is more covalent than pbcl2
conversely pbcl2 more ionic than pbcl4
Because of the large difference in electronegativities, a metal such as lead would be expected to form an ionic compound with chlorine, as is seen in PbCl2. Howevern, in the case of PbCl4, 4+ charge on a lead IV ion is rather unstable, and attracts electrons from the chloride ion enough to form a covalent bond.
PbCl4 is it's formula. The name of the chemical is Lead tetrachloride.
due to inert pair effect Pb show it's valency as +2 so PbCl2 is more stable.
-1. However PbCl is not a compound of lead- PbCl2 and PbCl4 are
2 HCl + Pb --> PbCl2 + H2 (for Pb 2+) 4 HCl + Pb --> PbCl4 + 2 H2 (for Pb 4+)

Formula: PbCl2
PbCl4 is it's formula. The name of the chemical is Lead tetrachloride.
due to inert pair effect Pb show it's valency as +2 so PbCl2 is more stable.
PbCl2 is lead(II) chloride, PbCl4 is lead(IV) chloride
-1. However PbCl is not a compound of lead- PbCl2 and PbCl4 are
2 HCl + Pb --> PbCl2 + H2 (for Pb 2+) 4 HCl + Pb --> PbCl4 + 2 H2 (for Pb 4+)
Pb(IV)-compositions are good oxidants. Pb(II) is more stable. Inert-Pair-Effect.
yes
yes, it is an ionic compound and all ionic compounds exist in solid state.
This is an ionic compound.
