Question

Explain hybridization of central atom in :CCl4

Open in App
Solution

In the molecule CCl4 the central atom C has 4 valence electrons where the C atom is forming 4 sigma bonds with Cl atoms and therefore the stearic number of C is 4 which imply that the hybridization of the molecule is sp3 where the geometry and the shape is tetrahedral.
