Does oil dissolve in carbon tetrachloride?
Carbon tetrachloride dissolves oils and also other components like fats, and grease very well. This property makes carbon tetrachloride very useful for cleaning manufactured parts.
Why will ethanol dissolve in water but carbon tetrachloride will not?
Ethanol is polar, and so is water. "Like dissolves like," so those two liquids will be miscible, meaning they will dissolve each other. Carbon tetrachloride, meanwhile, is non-polar. Its intermolecular forces are incompatible with water's, so polar water will not be able to dissolve it.
What does chlorine and carbon mixed together make?
Chlorine and carbon "mixed together" simply make a mixture, but chlorine and carbon reacted with each other make a class of compounds called "chlorocarbons", of which carbon tetrachloride is the member with the smallest molecules.
What characteristic does carbon have that explains why no other element can form the amount and variety of molecules that carbon has?
Carbon can form four bonds with different elements and/or other carbon elements.
What element can form four covalent bonds with other atoms?
they both have fur and claws this is a good answer and to answer other questions like this you should just think of all of the similarities.

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.
What is the name of the compound with the formula B2Cl4?
CCl4 is a covalent (molecular) chemical compound. 4 means tetra. Cl is chlorine and you need to add "ide" at the end of chlorine to make chloride. C is for carbon on the periodic table. As a final result, the chemical name for CCl4 is Carbon Tetrachloride.
Does every element in the periodic table of elements have carbon in them?
No. An element, by definition, does not contain any other element. The only element that contains carbon is carbon; however, carbon does make compounds with other elements - for example, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide with oxygen.
What is bromine and carbon tetrachloride?
Bromine in carbon tetrachloride is a brown-colored solution and used as a chemical test. When drops of bromine/carbon tetrachloride are added to a solution containing an unknown compound and the brown-colored bromine solution disappears, that means that the unknown compound contains carbon-carbon double bonds (since it absorbed the bromine solution). On the other hand, if the brown-colored bromine solution doesn't disappear then it means that no carbon double bonds are present. This is called a "Bromine Test."
Why will ethanol dissolve in water but carbon tetrachloride will not?
Ethanol is polar, and so is water. "Like dissolves like," so those two liquids will be miscible, meaning they will dissolve each other. Carbon tetrachloride, meanwhile, is non-polar. Its intermolecular forces are incompatible with water's, so polar water will not be able to dissolve it.
Mathematically why do the dipole moments cancel in a carbon tetrachloride molecule?
Carbon tetrachloride is tetrahedron shaped, it is 100% symmetrical. Thus all the 4 bond dipole moments cancel each other and the net dipole moment is zero.
What does chlorine and carbon mixed together make?
Chlorine and carbon "mixed together" simply make a mixture, but chlorine and carbon reacted with each other make a class of compounds called "chlorocarbons", of which carbon tetrachloride is the member with the smallest molecules.
What characteristic does carbon have that explains why no other element can form the amount and variety of molecules that carbon has?
Carbon can form four bonds with different elements and/or other carbon elements.
Is a diamond crystal a compound or element?
No, diamond is a form of the pure element carbon.
Is carbon an example of a compound?
Well, carbon's abbreviation in chemistry is C. You may notice the absence of any other letters. Which means that carbon is an example of an element, not a 'compund'. And by the way, it's spelled 'Compound'.
How many protons does an atom carbon-12 have?
Six. Carbon is element #6. Other carbon isotopes also have six protons.
