A chemical compound containing one halogen element bonded to another element; related to halides.
From 'halogen' (salt-forming elements like chlorine, bromine, iodine) with the suffix '-id' (indicating a compound). Variant or alternative form of 'halide.'
Halogens literally means 'salt-formers'—they combine with metals to create many of the salts we use daily, from table salt (sodium chloride) to disinfectants.
