MCQ
In compound $X$, all the bond angles are exactly ${109^o}28',\,\,X$ is
  • A
    Chloromethane
  • B
    Iodoform
  • Carbon tetrachloride
  • D
    Chloroform

Answer

Correct option: C.
Carbon tetrachloride
(c) Compound is carbontetrachloride because $CC{l_4}$ has $s{p^3}$-hybridization $4$ orbitals giving regular tetrahedron geometry.

In others the geometry is little distorted inspite of $s{p^3}$ hybridization due to different atoms on the vertices of tetrahedron.
