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
Lead (II) chloride for PbCl2 and lead (IV) chloride for PbCl4 .
PbCl4 is ionic. Lead(IV) chloride is formed by the transfer of electrons from the lead atom (metal) to the chlorine atoms (nonmetal), resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Lead can form both ionic and covalent compounds. In its ionic form, lead typically forms a 2+ cation, such as in lead(II) chloride (PbCl2). In its covalent form, lead can form covalent compounds with nonmetals, such as lead(IV) oxide (PbO2).
PbCl4 is less stable than PbCl2 because of steric hindrance from the bulky Cl atoms in PbCl4, leading to a higher energy state. PbCl2 has a more stable structure due to the lower coordination number of Pb, allowing for stronger Pb-Cl bonds and a more compact arrangement.
PbCl4 is it's formula. The name of the chemical is Lead tetrachloride.

The formula for plumbous chloride is PbCl2. It is also known as lead(II) chloride and is a compound of lead and chlorine.
No, PbCl2 is an ionic compound. It is composed of lead (Pb) cation and chloride (Cl) anions held together by ionic bonds.
Pb(IV)-compositions are good oxidants. Pb(II) is more stable. Inert-Pair-Effect.
yes, it is an ionic compound and all ionic compounds exist in solid state.
2 HCl + Pb --> PbCl2 + H2 (for Pb 2+) 4 HCl + Pb --> PbCl4 + 2 H2 (for Pb 4+)
PbCl2 is lead(II) chloride, PbCl4 is lead(IV) chloride
Is CsL ionic or covalent
