What is the shape of a H20 molecule and a carbon tetrachloride molecule?
A H2O molecule is bent and a CCl4 is tetrahedral.
Is SiCl4 a bent molecule?
The shape of the Silicon tetrachloride molecule is tetrahedral, a very symmetrical form.
Why is SnCl4 polar?
Tin tetrachloride is a tetrahedral molecule that is nonpolar. The individual Sn-Cl bonds are polar, but the shape of the molecule, similar to carbon tetrachloride, makes the molecule itself nonpolar.
What is the hybridization of the bonding orbitals in carborn tetrachloride?
As the CCl4 molecule has a regular tetrahedral shape the hybridisation is sp3
Does hydrogen tetrachloride have polar bonds?
Hydrogen tetrachloride is not an existing molecule.
The shape of the methane molecule (CH4) is called?
The shape of the methane molecule is called a tetrahedron.
How many atoms r chlorine are in the carbon tetrachloride molecule?
If you know your Classics (Latin), the name gives the clue . 'Tetra' means four(4). So carbon tetrachloride is has four chlorine atoms. Its modern IUPAC name is 'Tetrachlormethane'. It has the formula 'CCl4'.
Why is carbontetrachloride considered a non-polar molecule when it contains polar bonds?
The molecular shape of carbon tetrachloride is a tetrahedron, which negates the polarity of individual bonds, and makes the molecule non-polar.
Is carbon tetrachloride a symmetrical molecule?
The bond in carbon tetrachloride are polar covalent, but the CCl4 molecule a a whole is nonpolar due to the symmetrical arrangement oft he bonds.
How many atoms in silicon tetrachloride molecule?
Five.
Will sodium chloride dissolves in carbon tetrachloride?
NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.
The shape of the carbon dioxide molecule is called?
linear
