Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 516
Question: In compound $ X $ , all the bond angles are exactly $ 109^{o}28’,X $ is [CBSE PMT 1991]
Options:
A) Chloromethane
B) Iodoform
C) Carbon tetrachloride
D) Chloroform
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Compound is carbontetrachloride because $ CCl_4 $ has $ sp^{3} $ -hybridization 4 orbitals giving regular tetrahedron geometry. In others the geometry is little distorted inspite of $ sp^{3} $ hybridization due to different atoms on the vertices of tetrahedron.
