trichloromethane
Sweet-smelling anesthetic liquid
Trichloromethane is the systematic chemical name for chloroform, a colorless liquid with a sweet smell once widely used as an anesthetic.
The name describes its molecular structure: three chlorine atoms attached to a methane base.
It appears mainly in scientific and technical contexts where precise chemical nomenclature is required.
