SnF4 wold be a nonpolar molecule, but it has polar covalent bonds. But since there are 4 of them, all equal, they cancel each other and thus the molecule itself is non polar.

Are the Sn-Cl bond polar or non polar in SnCl4?
They're polar, because they have different electronegativity values, so each atom attracts the electons with different "strenght".
In BrF3 as a solvent SnF4 and KF behave as?
well BrF3 will auto dissociate to give BrF4- + BrF2+ ...the KF will give a F- to the BrF3 obviously this giving is really due the higher electronegativity of the fluorine thus their will be an increase in the amounts of BrF4- in solution .Using the solvent-system definition of an acid or base.Any specie (molecule ,ion)which increases the anionic or negatively charged amounts of species in solution is a base.So KF definitely behaves as a base. You can use this same reasoning for SnF4 and try and figure that one out on your own.good luck .

What charge does lead have when it forms a ion?
Lead is a metal with an electronegativity of 2.33. This is very high for a metal. A simple prediction is that reactions with non metals of low electronegativity will form covalent bonds and with non metals of high electronegativity will form bonds which are ionic /covalent borderline. This is essentially what is found, for example, PbO is more ionic than PbS. PbS is essentially ionic but is also a semiconductor- so there is a covalent component to the bonding. Lead has two oxidation states, lead(II) and lead(IV). the more stable state is lead(II). The first two ionization energies are similar to magnesium. Lead forms Pb2+ salts such as Pb(NO3)2 unlike most lead(II) salts this is soluble in water, and PbSO4 (found in car batteries), which is insoluble, and PbCO3 another insoluble salt called white lead when it was used in paints. Lead(IV) compounds are not generally ionic - the ion Pb4+ would be highly polarising and would lead to covalent bonding, PbF4 is the most ionic - it is a high melting solid with a structure like SnF4. It is thermally unstable decomposing to produce fluorine.

What is the correct name for the compound SnF4?
First we have to start by determining what charge does Sn have to form this compound. Remember that Fluorine has -1 charge (F-1) and there are 4 of them. That means that Sn must have a +4 charge; therefore, the compound would be called: Tin(IV) fluoride or Stannic fluoride.
