Carbon tetrachloride is nonpolar because its polar bonds are distributed in space (at the corners of tetrahedron with the carbon atom at its center) in a manner such that the the polarities of the individual bonds cancel one another out at any substantial distance from the molecule.

Is chloroform polar as compared to carbon tetra chloride?

Yes, chloroform is more polar than carbon tetrachloride because it contains a polar C-Cl bond. Carbon tetrachloride, on the other hand, consists of C-Cl bonds which are nonpolar. Polar molecules have a partial positive and partial negative charge, while nonpolar molecules have an even distribution of charge.
