Question

The geometry of CCl4 and its dipole moment are

Answer 1

Answer:

tetrahedral

zero dipole moment.

hope it helps....

Answer 2

11th/Chemistry

Chemical Bonding

Answer :

$\bf{CCl_4}$ :- Carbon tetrachloride

No. of BP = 4 (C-Cl bond)

No. of LP = 0

Total no. of pairs = 4 + 0 = 4

Hybridisation of $\sf{CCl_4}$ = SP³

Shape : Tetrahedral

Bond angle : 109.5°

➤ Dipole moment is the vector sum of the dipole moments of various bonds, hence depends upon geometry of the molecule.

Net dipole moment = 0 Debye

(symmetry shape)

Other Examples :

• CH$_4$
• SnCl$_4$
• SiF$_4$
