CCl4 Molecular Geometry / Shape and Bond Angles

A quick explanation of the molecular geometry of CCl4 including a description of the CCl4 bond angles. Looking at the CCl4 Lewis structure we can see that there are four Chlorine atoms attached to the central Carbon atom and that are no lone pair electrons (on the central C). Based on VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) the electron around the C will repel each other. As a result they will be pushed apart giving the CCl4 molecule a tetrahedral molecular geometry or shape. The CCl4 bond angle will be about 109.5 degrees since it has a tetrahedral molecular geometry.
