Q

A synonym for chloroform is __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic chemistry naming conventions for organic compounds • Relationship between common names (like chloroform) and systematic/chemical names • Recognizing when a name describes chlorine gas vs. a specific organic liquid compound

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: does this sound like a single carbon compound with several chlorines attached, or something very different? • Which choice clearly describes a gas rather than a liquid solvent long used as an anesthetic? • Which answer looks like it belongs to aromatic compounds (ring structures) rather than a simple one‑carbon molecule?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option’s name suggests one carbon atom with three chlorine atoms attached • Eliminate any choice that clearly refers to gases used for disinfection or bleaching • Eliminate any option that clearly refers to phenol or aromatic ring compounds, which are not chloroform
