Halide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (246 words) |
 | 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 than the halogen, to make a fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, or astatide compound. |
| Metal halides are used in high-intensity discharge lamps called metal halide lamps, such as those used in modern street lights. |
| Alkyl halides are organic compounds of the type R-X, containing an alkyl group R covalently bonded to a halogen X. Pseudohalides resemble halides in their charge and reactivity; common examples are azides NNN-, isocyanate -NCO, Isocyanide, CN-, etc. |
| ORGANIC HALOGEN COMPOUNDS (433 words) |
| Alkyl halide compounds are mostly dense liquids and solids that are insoluble in water. |
| Alkyl fluorides tend to be less reactive than other alkyl halides, mainly due to the higher strength of the C-F bond. |
| The reactivity of alkyl halides is dominated by the attack of nucleophiles at the carbon atom that bears the halogen atom. |
