The main reason that CCl4 is not hydrolysed and SiCl4 is hydolysed is because SiCl4 is an ionic compound and CCl4 is a covalent compound.

What kind of bond does CCl4 has?

CCl4 has a covalent bond, where carbon and chlorine atoms share electron pairs to form a stable molecule. This results in a tetrahedral geometry where each carbon atom is surrounded by four chlorine atoms.


What happens when phenol is warmed with CCl4 in aqueous NaOH?

In the presence of aqueous NaOH, phenol undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction to form sodium phenoxide. When CCl4 is added, no reaction occurs as CCl4 is non-reactive towards phenoxide ion.


What is the valency and symbol of tetrachloride?

Tetrachloride has a valency of 4 as it has four chlorine atoms attached to a central atom. The symbol for tetrachloride can vary depending on the central atom. For example, carbon tetrachloride is CCl4, while silicon tetrachloride is SiCl4.


What is the chemical formula for the compound trinitrogen tetrachloride?

SCl_4_ (the bounding underscores are to denote the subscript 4). The prefix on the chloride in the name denotes 4 Cl. Since this involves 2 (two) non-metals, you must specify how many of each element are in the compound to resolve the ambiguity. This is largely due to the fact that this is not an ionic compound where you can derive the charges and match up the elements accordingly. This is probable more than one may have been asking for. However, it is good to have.


Why is the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride greater than silicontetrachloride?

tetrahedral molecules will have a better packing if the central atom is smaller than the peripheral ones. hence carbon tetrachloride has better packing and hence a higher boiling point. (this is most probably wrong, but seemed like a only explanation i could think of)
