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 .


Is PbCl4 ionic or covalent?

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.


Is lead ionic or covalent?

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).


Why pbcl2 is more stable than pbcl4?

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.
