Question

Write the formula and draw electron dot structure of carbon tetrachloride

Answer 1

carbon tetrachloride---CCl4

Answer 2

Formula and electron dot structure of carbon tetrachloride.

• The formula of compound carbon tetrachloride is $CCl_4$. It means that the structure is composed of one carbon atom and 4 chlorine atoms.
• The main requirement to draw the electron dot structure is the valence electrons.
• Accordingly, the valence electron of carbon and chlorine are 4 and 7 respectively.
• The element which has electrons less than 4 donates electron whereas more than 4 accepts electrons to attain octet.
• As carbon has 2 valence electrons, it donates 4 electrons, whereas each chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons, it accepts 4 electrons from carbon and forms carbon tetrachloride.
• For structure kindly refer the attachment.
