Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4):
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4):
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Non-polar covalent substance
In Carbon tetrachloride CCl4 Carbon electronegativity is 2.5 and that
of chlorine is 3. Thus all the four chlorine atoms try to attract the shared
pair of electrons towards themselves. This is expected to leave a partial
positive charge on carbon and negative charges on the chlorine.
The molecular geometry of CCl4 is tetrahedral with
symmetric charge distribution around the central atom.
Therefore,CCl4 is nonpolar.
