Consider two solvents that are commonly used for organic chemistry reactions: CH2Cl2 and CCl4. Interestingly, studies have shown that one of these solvents is polar and one is non polar. Draw valid Lewis structures for these two molecules. Show bond dipoles and both partial charges (use sigma + and sigma -). How would the electrostatic potential maps for the two molecules be similar? How would they be different?
