Trihalide Explained

A trihalide in chemistry is an organohalide consisting of three halide atoms bonded to a single atom or compound.^{[1] [2]} An example of a trihalide is chloroform.

The trihalomethanes are the simplest trihalides, because only one hydrogen is connected to the carbon. The 1,1,1-Trichloroethane is one of the trihalides of ethane.
