Which of the following halides cannot be hydrolysed?
- A \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\)
- B \(\mathrm{SiCl}_4\)
- C \(\mathrm{GeCl}_4\)
- D \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Among the given halides, only \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\) cannot be hydrolysed due to absence of vacant \(d\)-orbitals.
