Question

State which is not a characteristic of an electrovalent compound :
a) High melting point
b) Conducts electricity when molten
c) Consists of oppositely charged ions
d) Ionizes when dissolved in water
state why ccl4 is a non electrolyte ​

Answer 1

d) Ionizes when dissolved in water

Well in CCl4 all 4 bonds are covalent and does not have enough polarity to break it in aqueous medium as ions because due to connection with 4 chlorines simultaneously already carbon has increased its electronegativity and comes more closer to the electronegativity of Cl thus further decrease in the difference of EN of ...

Answer 2

Answer:d) Ionizes when dissolved in water.

Arson tetrachloride contains five atoms in all i.e. one atom of carbon and four atoms of chlorine. It does not have any free electrons. Moreover it forms a covalent bond.

Hence it is non electrolyte.
