halides
Chlorine-containing salts
Halides are chemical compounds containing a halogen element—fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine—bonded to another element or group.
Common examples include sodium chloride (table salt) and silver bromide (used in photography).
The term appears mainly in chemistry: Metal halides are used in high-intensity lamps.
