Answer: B)because of its regular symmetrical tetrahedral structure.
Carbon tetrachloride has no dipole moment because of its regular symmetrical tetrahedral structure.
Explanation:
Carbon tetrachloride is non-polar molecule because the central carbon atom undergoes sp^
3 hybridization which results in regular tetrahedral geometry in which all the four C−Cl bond dipoles cancel each other. Hence, the molecule has no net dipole moment.
