Question:

The chloride that cannot get hydrolysed is: SiCl4, PbCl4, CCl4, SnCl4

SiCl4

CCl4

SnCl4

PbCl4

Solution:

CCl4 doesn't undergo hydrolysis because of the absence of vacant d-orbitals. But in SiCl4, silicon has vacant d-orbitals which can be used for hydrolysis. Hence SiCl4 can undergo hydrolysis.
