physical state of titanium chloride at r.t.p = liquid

titanium chloride has covalent bond as it has low melting and boiling points/it is a liquid at room temperature.

it has a simple molecular structure.

EClx is a liquid at room temperature.

It is a non-metal (needs to be all non-metals for covalent bond)

EClx will not conduct elec in all states.

EClx has simple molecular structure with weak dispersion forces between simple discrete molecules. Small amount of energy required to overcome weak dispersion between molecules. hence it has low boiling point.

Both methane and butane have simple molecular structures. Butane molecules have more electrons and larger electron cloud, dispersion force between butane molecules is stronger. More energy required to overcome stronger dispersion between butane molecules. Hence butane has higher boiling point.

Silicon tetrachloride has simple molecular structure with weak dispersion force between discrete molecules. Aluminium fluoride has giant ionic structure with strong electrostatic force of attraction between cations and anions. Much larger amount of energy required to overcome

SO2 gas evolved with acidified potassium manganate(VII). KMnO4 (aq), colourless, pungent gas turned purple KMnO4 colourless

Water: test colourless liquid droplets with cobalt(II) chloride paper, blue cobalt ii chloride paper turned white

or

test with anhydrous copper ii sulfate

white anhydrous copper ii sulfate turned blue
