Answer:
Element X is placed in
group 14. Therefore, its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 4.
Number of valence electrons is 4.
Further,
since it is difficult to lose all the four valence electrons or gain four more
electrons.
Therefore,
it prefers to share these four electrons to acquire the stable electronic configuration
of the nearest inert gas.
Thus, the
nature of the chloride of element X is covalent. Its chloride will be
