CCl4

For central atom C

The formula to calculate hybridization is:

n= 1/2 [group no. central atom +no. of monovalent atoms attached to central metal atom (except oxygen) + magnitude of negative charge - magnitude of positive charge]

n= 1/2 [4 +4 + 0-0]

n= 1/2 [8)

=4

The hybridization is sp3 and the electron geometry is tetrahedral
