Answer:

A silicon tetrachloride reacts with water, while carbon tetrachloride does not. This is due to the fact that the carbon does not have d-orbitals to accept lone pair of electron from water, while silicon has vacant d-orbitals to accept lone pair of electron from water.

Mark me as Brainliest and do follow me.

Explanation:

SiCl4 is easily hydrolysed by water whereas CCl4 is stable towards hydrolysis in water because silicon has vacant 3d orbital available for further co-ordination with water whereas carbon has no d orbital for bonding.

-CCl4 is a nonpolar compound.Polar and ionic compounds are dissolved in polar solvent water. Nonpolar solute are dissolved in nonpolar solvents. So, CCl4 is insoluble in water.
