Identify the correct chemical formula of chloroform.

CHCl₃

The correct answer is option 1. CHCl₃.

The correct chemical formula for chloroform is \(CHCl_3\).

Chloroform: This organic compound is known for its trihalomethane structure, meaning it has three chlorine atoms \((Cl)\) bonded to a single carbon atom \((C)\) and one hydrogen atom \((H)\).

The other options are incorrect because:

\(CHCl\): This formula only has one chlorine atom, while chloroform has three.

\(CHCl_2\): This formula has two chlorine atoms, not the required three for chloroform.

\(CH_2Cl_2\): This formula represents dichloromethane, another organic compound with a different structure and properties than chloroform.
