Question

State the type of bond present in Carbon tetrachloride.

Answer 1

Bonds in Carbon tetrachloride $\left({\mathrm{CCl}}_4\right)$

• Carbon tetrachloride $\left({\mathrm{CCl}}_4\right)$ contains ca ovalent bond.
• Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between Carbon $\left(\mathrm{C}\right)$ and Chlorine $\left(\mathrm{Cl}\right)$.

Carbon ${\mathrm{C}}_6=2,4$

Chlorine ${\mathrm{Cl}}_{17}=2,8,7$

So, to become stable Carbon will share electrons with four Chlorine atoms to form four Covalent bonds and resulting in the formation of Carbon tetrachloride $\left({\mathrm{CCl}}_4\right)$.
