Answer options

  1. KCl
  2. BaO
  3. CHCl3
  4. CaH2

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: CHCl3

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) $\text{CHCl}_3$ šŸ“š Explanation: Chloroform ($\text{CHCl}_3$) is an excellent example of a covalent compound because its internal bonds are formed by the mutual sharing of valence electrons between the carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. Other compounds in the list, such as $\text{KCl}$ or $\text{BaO}$, are ionic compounds formed by the complete transfer of electrons. Covalent molecules typically exhibit lower melting points and do not conduct electricity.
