Receive 30% Off Your Purchase of Chloroform!

Chloroform is an exquisite substance because it has many uses. It can be used as a solvent when making dyes and pesticides, an anesthetic, and a reagent in organic synthesis. It also serves a veterinary purpose, being used to kill maggots in wounds. 

If you are looking to buy chloroform, you have come to the right place. For a limited time only, Chloroform Central is offering a special on purchases of chloroform! Receive 30% off your next purchase of chloroform at Chloroform Central today!

Although chloroform is no longer used as an anesthetic due to its toxicity, it can still be very useful. Here at Chloroform Central we support the use of chloroform in  veterinary purposes, making dyes and pesticides, and any safe experiments you would like to conduct with this amazing substance. Because of its toxicity, we do not support the use of chloroform as an anesthetic or in any other way in which it is being ingested by a person.

We would like to remind our customers that chloroform is very toxic and because it is colorless and sweet smelling, can be very hazardous.

Structure of Chloroform

CHCl3 is a tetrahedron (AX4). This is because the central atom has four atoms attached to it. The central atom is carbon (the dark grey atom in the picture above). Attached to the carbon are 3 atoms of chlorine (green atoms) and 1 hydrogen atom (white atom). The carbon is represented by the "A" in the Ax formula and the 3 chlorine atoms plus the 1 hydrogen atom are represented by the "4". This means that the molecule's structure is AX4, which means it is a tetrahedron. The bond angles of tetrahedrons are 109.5°. 

Chloroform Bonding with Chloroform

Chloroform is attracted to itself because of London Dispersion Forces and Dipole-Dipole Forces. The Cl of the first molecule (circled in red) is negative and the H of the second molecule (also circled in red) is positive. The negative end of the first molecule is attracted to the positive end of the second molecule. The orange line between the two atoms represents the dipole-dipole attraction. London dispersion forces also act upon this bond. London dispersion forces are present in every bond, creating a temporary dipole between the two molecules. This is due to the quick movement of the electrons around the atoms.

Dash Model of Chloroform

Chloroform (CHCl3) is a polar molecule. It consists of covalent bonds. The bond between C and H is covalent because the difference of their electronegativity levels is 0.3, making it a very covalent bond. The bond between C and Cl is covalent because the difference in their electronegativity levels is 0.7, making it a moderately covalent bond.
