SiCl4 is easily hydrolysed but CCl4is not
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 8 months ago

  • CCl4 doesnot undergo hydrolysis by water because the carbon atom is small and is shielded by larger chlorine atoms.
  • Carbon does not have 3d atomic orbitals that water can use to form co-ordinate bonds.
  • In SiCl4, the silicon atom is larger than the carbon atom and also has available 3d atomic orbitals for bonding, thus hydrolysis is possible.
