Why NaCl gives a white percipitate with AgNO3 solution but CCl4 does not?

Solution

NaCl is an ionic compound which gives Na+ and Cl ions in aqueous solution. Clions combine with Ag+ ions of AgNO3 to form a precipitate of AgCl. On the other hand, CCl4 is a covalent compound and does not give Cl ions.
