Is CCl4 Polar or Nonpolar?

Answer: CCl4, a carbon tetrachloride, is stated to be nonpolar.

• The reason for this is that all four bonds in carbon tetrachloride are symmetrical and also, and they are extended in all directions.
• It is due to this same fact that it becomes easy for the dipole moment of one bond to cancel out the other placed in the opposite direction.
• Hence, two pairs of CCl4 cancel one another which further results in a net zero dipole moment.
