Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carbon tetrachloride molecule has a tetrahedral shape, where the carbon atom is at the center and the four chlorine atoms are at the four corners of a tetrahedron. This is due to the sp3 hybridization of the carbon atom, which results in four hybrid orbitals that are oriented towards the corners of a tetrahedron.
