CCl4 is a compound consisting of one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms, once widely used as an industrial raw material, as a solvent, and in the production of CFCs. Use as a solvent ended when it was discovered to be carcinogenic.

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), also known by many other names, is an organic compound. It was formerly widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants, and as a cleaning agent. It is a colorless liquid with a "sweet" smell that can be detected at low levels. Both carbon tetrachloride and tetrachloromethane are acceptable names under IUPAC nomenclature.

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.


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


What is CHCl4?

No such molecule as CHCl4. You either means CCl4 ( tetrachloromethane ; carbon tetrachloride). or CHCl3 ( trichloromethane).


What kind of bond does CCl4 has?

SiCl4 has empty d orbitals but CCl4 doesn't. so a water molecule can trigger a reaction with SiCl4. It is a single covalent bond.
