What is the nature of the Se-Cl bond in a molecule of selenium chloride (SeCl2) if the electronegativity value of selenium is 2.55 and that of chlorine is 3.16?

It is a covalent bond.


Does selenium blow up with chlorine?

It doesn't seem likely. Selenium isn't terribly reactive, and selenium monochloride exists in equilibrium with a different kind of selenium chloride, chlorine gas, and elemental selenium; this indicates that there's not a huge energy difference between the uncombined elements and the compound, as you would expect there to be if they "blew up" when combined.
