In Common table salt aka Sodium Chloride the bonding in each molecule is IONIC this is where the metal loses its electron to the chlorine to become a positive action and the chlorine becomes a negative anion.

The two oppositely charged ions attract and form strong electrostatic attractions called IONIC BONDS

I hope that this helps :)

Answer:

High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.

Explanation:

There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.

Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.

Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.

Here, reaction between $CCl_{4}$ and $H_{2}O$ is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
