∙ 13y agoThe formula for carbon tetrachloride is CCl4
that's 1 carbon atom, and four (tetra) chlorine atoms

Is carbon tetrachloride or sodium chloride conduct electricity in molten state?
Carbon tetrachloride (tetra-chloromethane, CCl4) is a NON-ionic fluid at room temperature, it is noncunducting fluid. NaCl is an ionic salt and will conduct electricity only when in molten state: then freely movable cations and anions are available.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in CH3OH?
The oxidation state of carbon in CH3OH is 4
What physical state is carbon tetrachloride at room temperature?
It is a liquid because at room temperature the molecular structure of the substance wants to expand. When the substance expands it goes from being a solid to a liquid. This expansion takes place when the room is at the commonly know "room temperature"
What is the oxidation number of carbon in carbon dioxide?
In methane (CH4), carbon is in the 4- oxidation state.
What is the oxidation number of carbon in carbonic acid?
I believe K2CO3.
Does carbon tetrachloride conduct electricity when a solid?
Carbon tetrachloride is prepared by the action of chlorine on carbon disulphide in the presence of iodine, which acts as a catalyst. It is slightly conductive.

Why is the boiling point of carbon tetrachloride higher than chloroform?
Both chloroform and carbon tetrachloride have the same tetrahedral molecular geometry - there are 4 atoms attached to a central carbon atom. In chloroform, there are 3 chlorine atoms and 1 hydrogen atom. In carbon tetrachloride, all 4 atoms surrounding the central carbon are chlorine atoms. So the difference between the two is simply replacing the 1 hydrogen atom with another chlorine atom. In essence, by doing this, the density of the compound is increased, due to the increase in mass (remember a chlorine atom has an atomic mass of 35 and hydrogen an atomic mass of 1). The density of chloroform goes from 1.48 g/mL to 1.58 g/mL when you replace chloroform's hydrogen with that chlorine atom. Since there is an increased mass in a given volume (1 mL), it takes just a little more energy (thermal) to get carbon tetrachloride atoms from the liquid state to the gas state, which is why CCl4 has a bp of around 76 (while chloroform's bp was around 62). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boiling points are based on intermolecular forces. Stronger the forces, lower the vapor pressure, higher the B.pt. Chloroform has mostly dispersion forces and very, very weak dipole-dipole. The reason Carbon tetrachloride has a higher boiling point is because the combined effect of all the dispersion forces are stronger than the intermolecular forces that exist in chloroform. Dispersion forces increase with increasing molecular weight and # of electrons.
Is carbon a metal or nonmetal or metalloid?
Carbon is considered a nonmetal. It has an atomic symbol of C and atomic number of 6. It is a solid in its standard state.
Why is not proper the gaseous state of carbon dioxide as vapor?
It is not proper to say "Vapour is a proper name for the gaseous state of carbon dioxide" because carbon dioxide is not present as liquid under natural circumstances. The gaseous state of a substance ABOVE its own fluid (or dissolved in a solution) is called vapour of that particular compound.
What is a compound of xenon oxide?
There is no such thing as that, oxidation state (number) refers to the "state" of the elements in the compund.
Which four elements are present in liquid state at normal temperature?
The four elements that are present in a liquid state at normal temperature are mercury (Hg), bromine (Br), cesium (Cs), and rubidium (Rb).
