Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

Bromoform is tribromomethane, CHBr₃, and has documented solvent uses. Diborane, B₂H₆, and borazine, B₃N₃H₆, contain boron rather than bromine. N-bromosuccinimide is used for allylic and benzylic bromination under suitable radical conditions. All three statements are correct.
