In the compound 'X', all the bond angles are exactly `109^(@)28`. 'X' may be________.

A

Chloromethane

B

Iodoform

C

Carbon tetrachloride

D

Chloroform

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Compound is carbontetrachloride because `C Cl_4`has `sp^3` - hybridization 4 orbitals giving regular tetrahedron geometry. In others the geometry is little distorted inspite of `sp^3` hybridization due to different atoms on the vertices of tetrahedron.
