A '''Trihalide''' in [[chemistry]] is a [[functional group]] consisting of three [[halide]] atoms bonded to a single carbon atom. An example of a trihalide is [[chloroform]].
The [[trihalomethane]]s 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.
