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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`CHCI_(3)` contains chlorine but it is bonded to carbon by covalent bond and therefore, it is not in ionic form. Hence, it does not combine with `AgNO_(3)` solution.
`CHCl_(3)+AgNO_(3) to "No reaction"`
