what type of of bonds are present in in the compound carbon tetrachloride?

Carbon tetrachloride would be... CCl4 There are 4 electrons in C and 28 in Cl4... 28 + 4 = 32 So you have 32 electrons that you need to somehow disperse. C is your central atom...so your 4 Cl will be surrounding it Cl | Cl-C-Cl | Cl (....I wish we could draw stuff out on here. Sigh*) So there you have 4 bonds already...which ='s 8 electrons...so you have 24 more you need to disperse. In order to make each Cl "happy" it needs 8 electrons. Since they already have 2 electrons with the bond to C, each one just need 6. You have 4 Cl that need 6 electrons. 6+2=8..YAYYYY...so just put 6 more electrons around each Cl...so that means that there are no more bonds...there are only 4 single bonds.


Explain why ethanol will dissolve in water and carbon tetrachloride will not?

Ethanol is a polar molecule because of the hydroxyl group (CH3CH2-OH). Carbon tetrachloride (C-CL4) is non-polar and does not exhibit hydrogen bonding. Many organic compounds are water soluble because of their polar nature i.e. acetone, citric acid, and others.
