the shape of carbon tetrachloride molecule is called

Answer 1

tetrahedral,

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer : The hybridization of central atom in $CCl_4$ is $sp^3$ and the shape of $CCl_4$ molecule is, tetrahedral.

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the given molecule.

The given molecule is, $CCl_4$

In this molecules, the central atom will be carbon not chlorine because carbon is less electronegative atom than the chlorine.

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4$

The number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$  and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

Hence, the hybridization of central atom in $CCl_4$ is $sp^3$ and the shape of $CCl_4$ molecule is, tetrahedral.
