Answer:
The carbon tetrachloride molecule, CCl₄, has the shape of a Tetrahedron.
Explanation:
The central atom in CCl₄ is carbon. Carbon is bonded to four Chlorine atoms through single bonds. According to VSEPR theory, if a central atom has four bonded electron pairs and zero lone pair of electrons it will attain tetrahedral shape. This shape is of the minimum energy. The bond angles between Cl-C-Cl is almost equal to 109°. The structure of CCl₄ is as follow,
