CHBr₃, also known as bromoform, is a chemical compound made up of one carbon atom and three bromine atoms. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and is primarily used in laboratories and industrial applications. Bromoform is classified as a haloform, which is a type of compound formed from the reaction of a halogen with a carbonyl compound. Bromoform is often used as a solvent and in the production of other chemicals. It is also found in some natural sources, such as certain types of marine algae. However, due to its potential environmental and health impacts, its use is regulated in many countries.
