Question

Draw the atomic orbit structure for formation of
1.electrovalent compound - magnesium chloride and calcium oxide
2.Covelant molecule -oxygen, ammonia, methane ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

In Carbon tetrachloride CCl

4

Carbon electronegativity is 2.5 and that of chlorine is 3. Thus all the four chlorine atoms try to attract the shared pair of electrons towards themselves. This is expected to leave a partial positive charge on carbon and negative charges on the chlorine.

The molecular geometry of CCl

4

is tetrahedral with symmetric charge distribution around the central atom.

Therefore,CCl

4

is nonpolar.
