Question

In compound X, all the bond angles are exactly ${109}^{o}28\text{'}$, X is

• A. Chloromethane
• B. Iodoform
• C. Carbon tetrachloride
• D. Chloroform

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Carbon tetrachloride

Compound is carbontetrachloride because $CC{l}_4$ has $s{p}^3$ -hybridization 4 orbitals giving regular tetrahedron geometry. In others the geometry is little distorted inspite of $s{p}^3$ hybridization due to different atoms on the vertices of tetrahedron.
