Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon tetrachloride contains how many atoms of chlorine?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorine needs one electron and carbon needs 4 electrons to acquire octet configuration. So, carbon atom will share one electron each with four chlorine atoms to form four covalent bonds resulting in the formation of carbon tetrachloride.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each carbon tetrachloride molecule is made of one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms.

Detailed explanation-3: -One molecule of ccl4 contain 4 chlorine atom in it. So 6.02 ×10²³ (that is equal to one mole), molecules contain 4×6.02×10²³ atoms of chlorine i.e. 4moles chlorine. So we can write one mole of ccl4 molecule have 4 moles of chlorine atom.

Detailed explanation-4: -The alkane having 4 carbon atoms is butane. It has isomers n butane and isobutane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thus, the molar mass of carbon tetrachloride is. 81 g mol-1 .
