Question

Which of the following molecules have zero dipole moment and tetrahedral structure ?

• A. $CC{l}_4$
• B. $SnC{l}_2$
• C. $SnC{l}_4$
• D. $C{O}_2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A $CC{l}_4$
C $SnC{l}_4$

Carbon tetrachloride and tin tetrachloride have tetrahedral structure and zero dipole moment as all the bond dipoles cancel each other which results in zero resultant dipole moment.

Tin(II) chloride has a bent structure with non zero dipole moment and carbon dioxide has a linear structure with zero dipole moment.
