Best Answer

>CCL4 is a non polar molecule.

It has 4 polar C-CL bonds due to CL having a higher electronegativity than C (from order of E.N)

> The central C atom has 4 regions of negative charge around it. These repel into a tetrahedral arrangement therefore bonding angle: 109.5 degrees, all regions are bonding. therefore the shape is tetrahedral.

> The tetrahedral arrangement of polar C-CL bond is symmetrical, therefore polar bonds cancel out as there is no overall/net dipole) therefore CCL4 is a non polar molecule.

Hope it helps this is a excellence ncea level 2 answer.
