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.
