Solid carbon tetrachloride, CCl4(s), is represented by the diagram above. The attractions between the CCl4 molecules that hold t
he molecules together in the solid state are best identified as (A) polar covalent bonds
(B) nonpolar covalent bonds
(C) intermolecular attractions resulting from temporary dipoles
(D) intermolecular attractions resulting from permanent dipoles
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the diagram that completes the question.
Answer:
<u>(B) nonpolar covalent bonds</u>
Explanation:
This structure in the diagram rightly fits the description of a non-covalent bond because there is an equal sharing of electrons of Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl).
<em>Remember</em> too that these elements are in their solid-state, hence the CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) molecules are held strongly together.
