Yes, chloroform is an aprotic solvent. Aprotic solvents do not have any active hydrogen atoms that can participate in hydrogen bonding or proton transfer reactions. Chloroform's lack of active hydrogen atoms makes it a good solvent for reactions that are sensitive to the presence of protic solvents.

What is example of polar aprotic solvent and nonpolar aprotic solvent?

An example of a polar aprotic solvent is THF, or tetrahydrofuran. It has the carbon-oxygen bond making it polar, but it has no protons that can freely dissociate form the compound. An example of a non-polar aprotic solvent is hexanes. hexanes have only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds, making it non-polar. They also do not have any protons that can freely dissociate from the compound
