Question
Carbon tetrachloride has zero dipole moment because of ________.
Carbon tetrachloride has zero dipole moment because of ________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C regular tetrahedral structure
Carbon tetrachloride molecule has zero dipole moment even though C and Cl have different electronegativities and each of the C - Cl bond is polar and has some dipole moment. This is because the individual dipole moments cancel out because of the symmetrical tetrahedral shape of the molecule.
