funny question
ccl4 is insoluble in water since it cannot form hydrogen bond with water
sicl4 is soluble in water since it hydrolyse in water to give SiO2
and HCl

Is Ccl4 Soluble In Water

The question is probably meant to be "Why does CCl4 not react with water, but SiCl4 does?"
And the answer to that is the availability of 3d orbitals in Si for donation by lone pairs on water molecules to complete the hydrolysis.

in ccl4 the c atom is more elctro-negative than si in sicl4. the c atom wen bonded with the 4 cl atoms obtains a full valence shell,as a result of this ccl4 repels water which has two lone pairs of electrons on the valence shell of oxygen. however, sicl4 is able to accomodate these lone pairs from oxygen because of it ability to hold 12 electrons on its valence shell wen hybridized.

c forms Ppie - Ppie bonds while Si forms Dpie - Dpie bonds

huh... thought it was non-polar... anyway, mix it with aluminum powder and you got some fun on your hands.. when lit of course.
