Which type of molecule is CF4?

Correct Answer: nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge

Explanation:

CF4 is tetrahedral.


Since the four 'F' atoms have the same electronegativity values, there is no bias in electron distribution toward any one.


 


Therefore, electron/charge distribution is symmetrical, which also means that the molecule is nonpolar.


 


Hence, CF4 is nonpolar molecule with a symmetrical distribution of charge.
