There is not one particular formula to be given, because there are (already) 4 possibilities for one C atom to bind with chlorine (from mono- to tetra-chloro-methane):
- CH3Cl
- CH2Cl2
- CHCl3
- CCl4
With 2 C atoms 10 possibilities (from mono- upto hexa-chloro-ethane)
and with more C atoms it becomes (almost) uncountable.

What type of bonding exist between carbon and chlorine?
A carbon-chlorine bond would be covalent but chlorine is more electronegative than carbon so the bond would be polar.
What is the correct formula for Barium bonding with chlorine?
barium chloride
The formula of the simplest compound formed between carbon and chlorine?
The carbon tetrachloride formula is CCl4.
How many chlorine atoms in a molecule of carbon tetrachloride?
4. 4 atoms of chlorine, one of carbon. The formula is CCl4
1. The ionic compound made from aluminum and chlorine has the formula AlCl3. Explain in detail why it is the correct formula?
ionic bonding
Does methane include a hydrogen bond?
I assume you mean intermolecular hydrogen bonding. No, because carbon is insufficiently electronegative. In contrast, carbon tetrachloride exhibits some hydrogen bonding because of the electronegativity of the chlorine atoms.
Carbon tetrachloride is made of carbon and which other element?
The chemical formula of carbon tetrachloride is CCl4; so contain carbon and chlorine.
What is carbon tectrachloride?
It's an organic compound with the formula CCl4. (A compound with one carbon & 4 chlorine )
How many valence electrons does carbon tetrachloride have?
Eight bonding electrons are there. 4 from one carbon and 1 each from the four chlorine atoms.
