Respuesta :
Answer is: false, carbon tetrachloride contains four single bonds.
Carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloromethane (CCl₄) is an organic nonpolar compound.
Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².
Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
Chlorine atoms have one unpaired electron, carbon atom is sp3 hybridized (has four unpaired electrons).
Answer:
False, The molecule CCl4 contains only four single bonds.
Explanation:
- There are only four single covalent bonds in CCl4.
- One carbon atom makes 4 covelent bonds with 4 chlorine atoms.
