Carbon tetrachloride has one atom of carbon and four atoms of chlorine.

Explanation:

Carbon tetrachloride is a synthetic compound formed by four atoms of chlorine and one atom of carbon.

At room temperature it is an apolar, volatile liquid, with a characteristic sweetish smell, noticeable even at low concentrations. It is a very toxic compound because it is capable of triggering radical chain reactions that degrade cell membranes.  

Non flammable, it has been used in the past in fire extinguishers as a cooling liquid, but has been gradually replaced by other compounds due to its toxicity.
