Tetrachloromethane has no dipole moments though it has polar bonds |
|
Answer» Answer: Now consider tetrachloromethane (CCl4) and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). Both molecules have polar C—Cl BONDS with the negative ends of the dipoles pointed toward the CHLORINE ATOMS. However, CCl4 does not have a dipole moment because the vector SUM of the SYMMETRICALLY arranged C—Cl bonds around carbon is zero.
