Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Correct answer:(C)

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct option:

Lewis structure of CBr4:

CBr4 Has 25 valence electrons.

Laboratory Manual for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach (4th Edition), Chapter 10, Problem 1SAQ , additional homework tip  1

The central atom (C) has four electron groups and all are bonding groups. The electron and molecular geometry of four electron groups is tetrahedral.

Reasons for incorrect options:

CBr4 Has 25 valence electrons.

Laboratory Manual for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach (4th Edition), Chapter 10, Problem 1SAQ , additional homework tip  2

The other options doesn't form tetrahedral.
