Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central atom in CCl₄ has four bonding pairs and no lone pairs, which gives it a tetrahedral electron geometry. The molecular geometry is also tetrahedral because there are no lone pairs to distort the shape.

Using the VSEPR Model, the Molecular Geometry of the Central
