In chemistry, a halide (rarely halogenide [1]) is a binary chemical compound, of which one part is a halogen atom and the other part is an element or radical that is less electronegative (or more electropositive) than the halogen, to make a fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, astatide, or theoretically tennesside compound.
The halogens may either be bonded to another element through covalent bonding or (as in many metal halides) present in the form of the halide ion. Subcategories This category has the following 13 subcategories, out of 13 total.
The Atacama Desert has large quantities of halide minerals as well as chlorates, iodates, oxyhalides, nitrates, borates and other water-soluble minerals. Not only do those minerals occur in subsurface geologic deposits, they also form crusts on the Earth's surface due to the low rainfall (the Atacama is the world's driest desert as well as one ...
With halide ions there are examples of all of these geometries along with some anions with octahedrally coordinated indium and with bridging halogen atoms, In 2 X 3− 9 with three bridging halogen atoms and In 2 X − 7 with just one. Additionally there are examples of indium with square planar geometry in the InX 5 2− ion.
Halide ligands may be abstracted by silver(I), often as the tetrafluoroborate or the hexafluorophosphate. In many transition metal compounds, the empty coordination site is stabilized by a coordinating solvent like tetrahydrofuran. Halide ligands may also be displaced by the alkali salt of an X-type ligand, such as a salen-type ligand. [10]
Unlike sodium chloride, caesium fluoride's anion is smaller than its cation, so it is the anion size that sterically inhibits larger coordination numbers than six under normally encountered conditions. A larger halide ion would allow for the eight-coordination seen in other caesium halide crystals.

Partial oxidation of a halide: 2 PCl 3 + O 2 → 2 POCl 3. In this example, the oxidation state increases by two and the electrical charge is unchanged. Partial halogenation of an oxide: 2 V 2 O 5 + 6 Cl 2 + 3 C → 4 VOCl 3 + 3 CO 2; Oxide replacement: CrO 2− 4 + 2 Cl − + 4 H + → CrO 2 Cl 2 + 4 H 2 O
