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.
