The halides in higher oxidation state posses high charge and are smaller in size as compared to the lower oxidation state halides.
Thus, in higher oxidation halides the charge/radius ratio is higher which contribute to the increase in polarisation and consequently these are more covalent.

Why SnCl2 is more stable than SnCl4?
due to inert pair effect
Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
Which is more covalent H-Cl or Cl-Cl?
Cl-Cl is more covalent than H-Cl
Which bond is most common covalent or ionic?
Covalent bond is more common than ionic bond.
How many covalent bonds does iodine have?
more than 1
Why SnCl2 is more stable than SnCl4?

What does tin and chlorine make?
When Tin and chlorine combine it creates either:-SnCl2, called tin(II) chloride, stannous chloride. This is molecular in the gas phase and forms polymeric covalent chains in the solid (mp. 247 anhydrous form)), but dissolves to form Sn2+ which may hydrolyse. The electronegativity difference is only 1.2 so it would be expected to be covalent rather than ionic.A covalent molecular compound SnCl4, tin(IV) chloride, stannic chloride, tin tetrachloride.

Can silicon form more than 4 covalent bonds?
No, silicon can form only four covalent bonds.
Is the covalent bond of SiC polar or non-polar?
Polar covalent. C is more electronegative than Si.
Is CO a nonpolar covalent or polar covalent?
Because oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bonding in CO (carbon monoxide) is a polar covalent.
What are some covalent compounds with more than three elements?
Nucleic acids would be one example of a covalent compound with more than 3 elements. Proteins have more than 3 elements as well. Many organic compounds do, it is quite common.
What element forms covalent compounds only?
Carbon is the element tht will form only covalent compound.
