1m(b)(i)The tetrachloride from the above that is totally not hydrolysed in water is
CCl
4
,
Water molecules cannot form dative bonds with CCl
4
Because carbon atom does not have 2d orbitals
.1m1m(ii)
PbCl
4
,has the highest boiling point.
It has the strongest dispersion forces (temporary induced dipole) becauseit is the largest molecule.
1m1m(c)Why is carbón tetrachloride used in extinguishers?
Chemically inert (not reactive/passive) / Its denser vapour sinks excludes oxygen and puts the fire off
1m(d)(i)Name one of the compounds :
Lead (IV) tetrachloride
1m(ii)Why is this compound that you choose thermally unstable?
The Pb-Cl bond length is the longest and the weakest
