MCQ practice · SSC Chemistry Board questions · Chapter 5: Chemical Bond
The compound CCl₄:
- i. it dissolves in water
- ii. it forms from ethane and Cl₂
- iii. it is held by covalent bonds
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a i
- b ii
- c iii
- d i and iii
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c iii
C and Cl share electrons to bond: a covalent bond. i and ii are false, so only iii.
Why the other options are wrong
- a i: i is false: CCl₄ is covalent with no positive or negative ends, so it does not dissolve in water. The answer the book supports is iii.
- b ii: ii is false: CCl₄ does not come from ethane; it comes from methane and Cl₂. The answer the book supports is iii.
- d i and iii: iii is true, but i is false: CCl₄ does not dissolve in water.
