chlorides
Negative chlorine ions
Chlorides are chemical compounds containing chlorine bonded to another element or group.
Table salt (sodium chloride) is the most familiar example.
In water quality testing, chloride levels indicate contamination or salinity: The well water had high chloride content.
Chlorides appear throughout chemistry, medicine, and industry—from calcium chloride used to de-ice roads to the hydrochloric acid in your stomach.
