SnCl2 is solid because it has a higher melting point due to its crystal lattice structure, which is more stable in the solid state. SnCl4 is liquid at room temperature because it has weaker intermolecular forces between its molecules, allowing them to move more freely and thus exist in a liquid state.
The volatile solids will have a vapor pressure at the boiling point of the liquid which means some of that solid will vaporize and go thru the distillation process with the liquid. When condensed you will not get a pure liquid.
A solid that can easily tranform into a gas.
You can get the solid back from a solution by evaporating the liquid to leave behind the solid. Alternatively, you could also use techniques like filtration or crystallization to separate the solid from the liquid in the solution.
No, volatile materials can exist as liquids or solids at low temperatures as well. The term "volatile" primarily refers to a substance's tendency to vaporize or evaporate quickly at normal temperatures. So, while volatile materials may often be gases that turn into liquids or solids at low temperatures, they can also exist in liquid or solid states initially.

Chloroform is a liquid, it becomes solid (freezes) at -63.5oC.

The process of distilling volatile solids is called SUBLIMATION.Physically speaking drying and evaporation (freeze-drying) are other possible names for the phase change of solid to gas
Elemental iodine is a solid. But it is a volatile solid in that chemists will use solid iodine in a chamber to "iodine stain" substances in thin layer chromatography. Thus iodine is like having a volatile solid.
