Which of the following non-metallic halides will NOT conduct electricity in aqueous solution?ACarbon tetrachlorideBhydrogen chloride Chydrogen bromideDsilicon(IV) chloride

The non-metallic halide that will NOT conduct electricity in aqueous solution is Carbon tetrachloride.

Here's why:

When a substance is able to conduct electricity, it means it can produce ions when dissolved in water. These ions are what carry the electric charge.

A. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a covalent compound and does not ionize in water, hence it does not conduct electricity.

B. Hydrogen chloride (HCl), when dissolved in water, ionizes completely to form H+ and Cl- ions, hence it can conduct electricity.

C. Hydrogen bromide (HBr), similar to HCl, also ionizes completely in water to form H+ and Br- ions, hence it can conduct electricity.

D. Silicon(IV) chloride (SiCl4), when dissolved in water, hydrolyzes to form H+ and Cl- ions, hence it can conduct electricity.
