Question

The formula of carbon tetrachloride is:

• A. $CHC{l}_3$
• B. $C{H}_{2}C{l}_4$
• C. $CC{l}_4$
• D. $C{H}_{3}Cl$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$CC{l}_4$

The picture given represents the electron dot structure of carbon tetrachloride, where the valence electrons of chlorine atoms are represented as dots and x represents valence electrons of carbon atom. Thus, the formula of carbon tetrachloride is $CC{l}_4$.
