• A. $CHCl _{3}$ forms hydrogen bonds
• B. $CCl _{4}$ is highly soluble in water
• C. $CCl _{4}$ has strong van der Waals??forces of attraction than $CHCl _{3}$
• D. $CCl _{4}$ is more ionic than $CHCl _{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$CCl _{4}$ has strong van der Waals??forces of attraction than $CHCl _{3}$

Answer 2
