Explain why SiCl4 reacts with H2O but CCl4 does not?
Answer Posted / m.k.atal & archana choudhary
Silicon and carbon both are the members of 14th group. But
Silicon tetrachloride reacts with water while carbon
tetrachloride does not . this is due to the fact that the
carbon does not have d - orbitals to accept lone pair of
electron from water while silicon has vacant d - orbitals
to accept lone pair of electron from water.
