Single Choice

$$CCl_4$$ has the hybridisation

A$$sp^3d $$
B$$dsp^2 $$
C$$sp$$
D$$sp^3$$
Correct Answer

Solution

CCl4 has 4 + 4(7) = 32 valence electrons. CCl4 has a tetrahedral arrangement of the electron pairs about the carbon atom that requires sp3 hybridization. The four sp3 hybrid orbitals from carbon are used to form the four bonds to chlorine.
