Halide
A
halide
is a
binary 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
ununseptide
compound. Many
salt
s are halides; the
hal-
syllable in
halide
and
halite
reflects this correlation. All
Group 1
metals form halides that are white solids at room temperature.
