Is Chcl3 Polar Or Nonpolar
So, is CHCl3 polar or nonpolar? Yes, CHCl3 is polar due to its tetrahedral molecular structure and difference between the electronegativity of C, H and, CL. Chlorine atoms are more electronegative than carbon and hydrogen and lie at three vertices of the pyramid and pull the negative charge to its direction making it a polar molecule with a dipole in a downward direction. Chloroform is a very reactive substance as it reacts with air and light to form a poisonous gas carbonyl chloride ie; phosgene gas....
