Question

How is CCl4 non polar? it has a tetrahedral shape but the bonds dont cancel out each other to be non polar though...

Answer 1

why is CCl4 non polar??
it has tetahedron but the Cl cancel out each other leaving C, thus it is unsymmetrical and therefore causing the whole structure to be polar :)

Answer 2

CCl4 is non polar as the dipole moment cancel out due to it's shape and electronegativity.

Answer 3

Regular tetrahedral shape + forces all pointing outwards
=> dipole moment cancels out
=> no net dipole moment
=> non polar
