There are four single covalent bonds between one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms.
Carbon has sp3 hybridization (hybridize one s-orbital and three p-orbitals) and four chlorine atoms are positioned symmetrically as corners in a tetrahedral configuration. Because of symmetrical geometry, carbon tetrachloride is non-polar molecule.
Electron configuration of carbon: ₆C 1s²2s²2p².
