Answer:
The plane contain maximum number of atoms should have 3 hydrogen atoms also should have 2 hydrogen and one carbon atom
Explanation:
we have,
4 , palne
now, in next condition
6 plane passing through the edges of the tetrahedron
In all we have 4+6 = 10 plane
Hope it helps you...

In CCl₄ the maximum number of atoms in a plane is three.
- CCl₄ has a tetrahedral geometry due to the repulsion between the four Cl atoms. To minimize repulsion and maximize separation Carbon is kept at the centre and all the chlorine atoms attached at a bond angle of 109.5° according to VSEPR theory.
- Earlier according to Lewis structure the structure of CCl₄, the least electronegative atom i.e. carbon is kept at the centre and the four Cl atoms are attached with a single bond to it at 90°.
