They may have a same molecular formula, but different structures of bonding or differed spacial arrangement, and these are called isomers.
Because covalent bond is rigid and occurs in any direction.Because of its ability to orient in any spatial arrangement in space it exhibits stereo-isomerism which is also the property of stereo-isomerism.
Nt sure I agree with the question. Consider the octahedral polyatomic ion Co(NH3)4Cl2+ this has trans and cis isomers (chlorines opposite each other at 180 0 or next to each other at 90 0). Generelly isomerism is rare in electrovalent compounds. One interesting example is the optical isomerism of ammonium sodium tartrate discovered by Pasteur.
Ionic compounds do not exhibit isomerism because the ions in an ionic compound are arranged in a specific ratio dictated by their charges to maintain overall electrical neutrality. The fixed arrangement of the ions in an ionic compound does not allow for the rearrangement of atoms or groups that is necessary for isomerism to occur.
Probable you think to CH2Br2, dibromomethane.
Optical isomerism arises due to the presence of chiral centers in a molecule, which leads to the molecule being non-superimposable on its mirror image. Geometrical isomerism, on the other hand, arises from restricted rotation around a double bond or ring. Organic compounds can exhibit optical isomerism if they have chiral centers but typically do not show geometrical isomerism unless there are specific structural features like double bonds or rings that limit rotation.

No, SnCl4 is a covalent compound. Tin (Sn) can exhibit both covalent and ionic bonding, but in SnCl4, it forms covalent bonds with the chlorine atoms.

Covalent bonding and some of these bonds (C-O and O-H) are polar.
Compounds that do not exhibit isomerism are typically symmetrical in structure, such as molecular formula C2H6. Symmetrical compounds have identical arrangements of atoms, preventing the formation of isomers.
This is a covalent compound. S-Cl bond is covalent.
a covalent compound has protons and electrons
Only in the acid (-COOH) and hydroxy (=C-O-H) group the bonds are polar, all others are covalent.
