The abnormality of HF is due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. They are covalent substances soluble in polar solvents. The bond strength of HX decreases down the group as the bonds become less polar. This property governs the reactivity of the halides.
Many salts are halides; the hal-syllable in halide and halite reflects this correlation. All Group 1 metals form halides that are white solids at room temperature. A halide ion is a halogen atom bearing a negative charge. The halide anions are fluoride (Fâ), chloride (Clâ), bromide (Brâ), iodide (Iâ) and astatide (Atâ). Such ions are present in all ionic halide salts. Halide minerals contain halides.
