CCl4 is more polar.

Electronegativity difference between C and H = 0.5 whereas C and Cl = 0.6

Therefore, CCl4 has a slightly stronger pull towards Cl.

Is NH3 soluble in CCl4?

it will not dissolve NH3 in poler molecules


Based on vsepr models of CCl4 and NH3 propose a hypothesis about the polarities of these molecules?

The polar C-CL bonds are distributed around the central carbon atom in CCL4. The dispoles therefore cancels out and CCL4 is not expected to be polar overall. The trigonal pyramidal shape of NH3 is expected to prodice a not dipole moment.


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.


Which is more polar NH3 or H2O?

Ammonia (NH3) is more polar than water (H2O) due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, which leads to a stronger dipole moment in NH3.


Why NH3 is more polar than NF3?

NH3 is more polar than NF3 because a) there is a greater difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen than there is between nitrogen and fluorine. b) the lone pair contribution in ammonia reinforces the dipole wheras in NF3 the bond dipoles oppose th effect of the lone pair


Why iodine dissolve readily in CCl4?

Iodine dissolves readily in CCl4 due to the presence of London dispersion forces between the iodine molecules and the non-polar CCl4 molecules. These weak intermolecular forces allow for iodine molecules to be dispersed throughout the CCl4 solvent.


How is polar?

NH3 has a lone pair.So it is polar.


Would ccl4 dissolve in h2o?

No it wont because it is non-polar and hence cannot break the hydrogen bonds in water and get dissolved


Can CCL4 dissolve ionic compounds?

CCl4 is a non polar solvent and therefore dissole ionic compounds


Is NH3 polar or non-polar?

NH3, or ammonia, is a polar molecule due to its trigonal pyramidal geometry and the presence of a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. This lone pair induces a net dipole moment in the molecule, making it polar.


Is ethyl alcohol soluble in CCl4?

No, ethyl alcohol is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) because they are of different polarities. Ethyl alcohol is polar due to its hydroxyl group, while CCl4 is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances do not mix well.
