Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Chemistry - 2000 (Objective) Subject: Chemistry

Question 1 Report

What is the shape of a molecule of CCI4?
Answer Details
The shape of a molecule is determined by its electron pair geometry, which is based on the number of electron groups around the central atom. In the case of CCl4, there are four bonding pairs of electrons and no lone pairs around the central carbon atom. This gives it a tetrahedral electron pair geometry, which corresponds to a tetrahedral molecular shape. Therefore, the correct answer is "Tetrahedral".
