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.

CCl4 because it has higher electronegativity and more electrons therefore it's london dispersion forces are much larger than CH4.

Based on vsepr models of CCl4 and NH3 propose a hypothesis about the polarities of these molecules?

The polar C-CL bonds are distributed around the central carbon atom in CCL4. The dispoles therefore cancels out and CCL4 is not expected to be polar overall. The trigonal pyramidal shape of NH3 is expected to prodice a not dipole moment.


Is NH3 soluble in CCl4?

it will not dissolve NH3 in poler molecules

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.

Is NH3 polar or non-polar?

Since NH3 has an free electron pair, it would be considered polar.


Why NH3 is more polar than NF3?

NH3 is more polar than NF3 because a) there is a greater difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen than there is between nitrogen and fluorine. b) the lone pair contribution in ammonia reinforces the dipole wheras in NF3 the bond dipoles oppose th effect of the lone pair


Is ammonia mlecule NH3 more polar than water molecule?

no, water is more polar than ammonia.


Why iodine dissolve readily in CCl4?

Iodine is a non polar compound so it is readily soluble in non polar liquids like CCl4.

It is not polar. only the bonds between the chlorine and carbon are polar
