Chloroform contains chlorine but gives no reaction with `AgNO_(3)` solution. Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why chloroform (CHCl₃) does not react with silver nitrate (AgNO₃) despite containing chlorine, we can break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Chloroform's Structure Chloroform has the chemical formula CHCl₃. This means it consists of one carbon atom (C), one hydrogen atom (H), and three chlorine atoms (Cl). The structure can be visualized as: ``` H | Cl-C-Cl ...
