due to inert pair effect
The halides in higher oxidation state posses high charge and are smaller in size as compared to the lower oxidation state halides.Thus, in higher oxidation halides the charge/radius ratio is higher which contribute to the increase in polarisation and consequently these are more covalent.(--AK)
They're polar, because they have different electronegativity values, so each atom attracts the electons with different "strenght".
In a molecule, the equatorial position is generally more stable than the axial position.
Tin tetrachloride is a tetrahedral molecule that is nonpolar. The individual Sn-Cl bonds are polar, but the shape of the molecule, similar to carbon tetrachloride, makes the molecule itself nonpolar.
No, stronger acids are not more stable compared to weaker acids. In fact, stronger acids are typically more reactive and less stable than weaker acids.
SnCl4 is more covalent than SnCl2 primarily due to the higher oxidation state of tin in SnCl4, which leads to a greater polarization of the chloride ions. The Sn4+ ion has a stronger positive charge, attracting the electron cloud of the Cl- ions more significantly, enhancing covalent character. In contrast, SnCl2, with Sn2+, exhibits less polarization and therefore has a greater ionic character. This difference in charge and polarization explains the greater covalent nature of SnCl4 compared to SnCl2.

More stable than the US dollar.
in general,mean is more stable than median but in the case of extreme values it is better to consider median a stable measure than mean.
Three legs are more stable than 4 legs.
Humans balance on two legs. This is less stable than balancing on four legs. The more legs you can lean on, the more stable you are. Centipedes are really stable!

Corroded metal is not stable.
Why triplet excited state is found to be more stable than singlet excited state?
A t least as stable as, say, the USA or Canada, if not more stable. More stable than Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Congo. But not as stable as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar.
