No. The individual bonds are polar, but the molecule as a whole is symmetric and therefore nonpolar.

∙ 11y agoNo carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is nonpolar. Although the C-Cl bonds are polar due to chlorine's high electronegativity, the molecule is tetrahedral, meaning the symmetry causes the dipole moment to cancel.

∙ 8y agoThe C-Cl bonds are polar, however the tetrahedral, symmetrical shape makes the molecule as a whole non-polar

∙ 14y agoCCl4 is nonpolar because it is in the tetrahedron shape. :)

CCl4 is nonpolar.
CH3Cl and CHCl3 are polar.

Is Br2 more soluble in H2O or CCl4?
ccl4 will dissolve better in water because likes dissolves likes, H2O is non-polar an CCL4 is also non polar where as ch2cl2 is polar(different to water) there for it wont dissolve in water but CCL4 will^^This is not true: water is polar. Therefore, since CCl4 is non-polar, and CH2Cl2 is polar, and like dissolves like, CH2Cl2 is more soluble.
Why CCL4 is polar?
It is not polar. only the bonds between the chlorine and carbon are polar
Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?
CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds
Can CCl4 dissolve an oil stain?
Yes it can. CCL4 is a non polar molecule meaning that it is miscible with other non polar substances such as oils. Because of this it will not mix well with water, just like oil.
Is ClF4 plus polar or nonpolar?
Cl4 does not exist, but if CCl4 is meant: this is a nonpolar compound

Why iodine dissolve readily in CCl4?
Iodine is a non polar compound so it is readily soluble in non polar liquids like CCl4.
Why CCL4 is polar?
It is not polar. only the bonds between the chlorine and carbon are polar
Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?
CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds
Can CCl4 dissolve an oil stain?
Yes it can. CCL4 is a non polar molecule meaning that it is miscible with other non polar substances such as oils. Because of this it will not mix well with water, just like oil.
Is ClF4 plus polar or nonpolar?
Cl4 does not exist, but if CCl4 is meant: this is a nonpolar compound
What is more polar NH3 or CCl4 and why?
CCl4 is more polar. Electronegativity difference between C and H = 0.5 whereas C and Cl = 0.6 Therefore, CCl4 has a slightly stronger pull towards Cl.
Is benzene and CCL4 miscible?
Yes. They are both quite non polar.
Why is CCl4 non-polar?
The individual bonds are polar, but they're symmetric so the molecule overall is considered nonpolar.
Will A molecule with polar covalent bonds will definitely be a polar molecule?
not necessarily. if the individual dipoles cancel off, then the molecule will be non-polar. As in CCl4, PCl5 etc
Is ccl4 polar or non polar?
The molecule of carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar.
Is CHCl3 polar bond?
I think you have a typo in your molecular formula but CH3Cl is a polar molecule and CCL4 is a non-polar molecule
