Question

Assertion (A) : $CC{l}_4$ is non polar molecule.
Reason ( R) : $CC{l}_4$ has polar bonds..

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false.
• D. Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

$C-Cl$ is bond is a polar bond. In $CC{l}_4$ , all C-Cl bonds are equal and they are form a regular tetrahedron shape. Sum of the all the dipole moments is zero. Net dipole moment of $CC{l}_4$ is zero.
