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.
Two commercially important halide minerals are halite and fluorite. The former is a major source of sodium chloride, in parallel with sodium chloride extracted from sea water or brine wells. Fluorite is a major source of hydrogen fluoride , complementing the supply obtained as a byproduct of the production of fertilizer.
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.
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

Halide ligands may also be displaced by the alkali salt of an X-type ligand, such as a salen-type ligand. [10] This reaction is formally a transmetallation, and the abstraction of the halide is driven by the precipitation of the resultant alkali halide in an organic solvent. The alkali halides generally have very high lattice energies.
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.
In this structure both the metals and halides feature octahedral coordination geometry, in which each ion has a coordination number of six. Caesium chloride, bromide, and iodide crystallize in a body-centered cubic lattice that accommodates coordination number of eight for the larger metal cation (and the anion also).
