Description:
Tin(II) chloride (stannous chloride) is a white crystalline solid with the formula SnCl2.
SnCl2 has a lone pair of electrons, such that the molecule in the gas phase is bent. In the solid state, crystalline SnCl2 forms chains linked via chloride bridges as shown. The dihydrate is also three-coordinate, with one water coordinated on to the tin, and a second water coordinated to the first. The main part of the molecule stacks into double layers in the crystal lattice, with the 'second' water sandwiched between the layers.
