Analyze the bonds of CCl4. What is the shape of the CCl4 molecule? Is it symmetrical? Does this mean that the CCl4 molecule is p
olar or nonpolar?
1 answer:
C-Cl bond is polar.
As Cl is more electronegative than C,
Cl pulls the shared electrons towards its side making the C-Cl bond polar.
Polar meaning C gets a partial positive charge and Cl gets a partial negative charge. Thus C-Cl bond becomes polar.
CCl4 molecule is tetrahedral.
And its shape is symmetrical.
That means its similar on all corners or all planes and it can be cut into equal halves from any plane.
C-Cl bond is polar.But the C-Cl polairty gets cancelled out as its pulled equally from all sides.
Since the molecule is symmetrical CCl4 is non polar.

Answer:
A) carbon - 2
B) cobalt - 3
C) sulfur - 2
D) fluorine - 1
E) titanium - 2
F) germanium - 2
Explanation:
Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-
Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.
(A) Carbon.
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
(B) Cobalt.
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.
(C) Sulfur.
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.
D) fluorine
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.
E) Titanium
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.
F) Germanium
The electronic configuration is -
Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.
