CCl4 is nonpolar because it has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape with all chlorine atoms positioned at equal distances around the carbon atom, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. CHCl3 is polar because the chloroform molecule is not symmetrical due to the hydrogen atom, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge and a net dipole moment.
