halide

Binary halogen salt

A halide is a chemical compound formed when a halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine) combines with another element or group.

Common halides include sodium chloride (table salt) and silver halides, which are light-sensitive compounds used in traditional photography.

The term appears mainly in chemistry and materials science contexts.
