polar molecules are water soluble , non-polar molecules are fat soluble . Chloroform (as are most anesthetics) is more soluble in fats (the cell membrane) than in water (ie.blood).
Thus it is classified as non-polar notwithstanding the data below.
Chloroform is a polar molecule. The 3 chlorine atoms are considerably more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, so the molecule has a net dipole moment.
