Answer:
Consider the electron structures of carbon and silicon:
C1s22s22p2
Si1s22s22p63s23p2
Silicon has unoccupied 3d orbitals which are able to accept electron pairs from the oxygen atoms on water to form bonds.
SiCl4+3H2O→H2SiO3+4HCl
Since there are no 2d orbitals, this cannot happen with tetrachloromethane.
