SiO2 is covalent because the difference in electronegativity is not great enough for it to be considered ionic. Ionic compounds have a difference in electronegativity of greater than 1.9

The Answer above is not right. SiO2 is Covalent. correct, but ionic compounds have an electronegativity difference of 1.7 or higher, not 1.9.

What is the covalent compound of scl6?

No such compound as 'scl6'. If you mean ' SCl6' , then this is sulphur hexachloride. NB Note the use of capital letters. Single letter chemical symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. Two letter chemical symbols are ALWAYS written as ; first letter is a CAPITAL letter, and the second letter is lower/small case. Hence sulphur is 'S' NOT 's' Chlorine is ' Cl'. NOT 'cl'. This is to avoid confusion. As agreed internationally, by IUPAC, and as shown in the Periodic Table.
