Tetrachloride is always a great word to know.
So is aromatic. Does it mean:
having an unsymmetrical arrangement of atoms in a molecule, or noting a carbon atom bonded to four different atoms or groups
pertaining to an aromatic compound, which contains one or more benzene or equivalent heterocyclic rings: many such compounds have an agreeable odor
