The properties of ionic compounds are as follows:
1. They are crystalline solids, and are brittle in nature.
2. They have high melting and boiling points.
3. They are soluble in water.
4. They conduct electricity in their solution and molten states.
Since \text{SnCl}_{2} is more ionic, it has high lattice energy.
