A halide ion is a halogen atom bearing a negative charge. The halide anions are Flouride (F-), Chloride (C-), Bromide (Br-), Iodide (I-) & Astatide (At-) such ions are present in all ionic halide salts.

What materials are good conductor?
any substance which has free electrons for conductivity is a good conductor. Metals and most ionic compounds in solution form are good conductors.
What reacts with metal?
Non-metals can react with metals to form ionic or covalent compounds. Mercury will react with most of the metals to form amalgams. Mixture of metals will lead to the formation of alloys.
Why are compounds more common than pure elements?
Elements can only get so big before it becomes impossible to make more, but each element can be used in many different ways to form multiple compounds, so there will always be more componuds than elements. For example, carbon and hydrogen can form millions of compounds just by themselves (potentially an unlimited number); adding just a single oxygen atom squares that number. So with two elements we can already create more compounds.
Why more compounds can be made from carbon than from most other elements?
Becuase of the sizes shapes and properties
How many valence electrons do Halogens have in p subshell orbitals?
Halogens have 5 electrons in their outermost p shell in their electrically balanced state. The p shell has 3 orbitals in each energy level. Halogens have 2 filled orbitals each with 2 electrons in them and one orbital with only one electron in it. In order to obtain the stable noble gas electron configuration, halogens gain one electron to completely fill the p shell on the outermost energy level. This gives halogens a charge of -1.
Do halogens in the periodic table form compounds?
Yes They do They all form compounds with Hydrogen
What compounds does einsteinium form?
Up today are known compounds of einsteinium with oxygen and halogens.
What families tend to form ionic compounds?
i dunno my dumb teacher wants me to find out she should ask a dam scientist!
Is it easy for halogens to form compounds?
Yes. They're very reactive, with fluorine (a halogen) being the most reactive of all elements.
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
How do the properties of the halogens and noble gases compare?
They are completely different Noble gases are colorless, monoatomic gases; the halogens are diatomic, colored and there form at room temperature is F, gas, Cl, gas, Br, liquid I, solid. Nobel gases are chemically unreactive, helium and neon have no known compounds, a few very reactive compounds are known for the rest. The halogens are all reactive, fluoringe is the most reactive. One or more of the halogens will form compounds with all of the other elements apart from the noble gases. (apart from He and Ne)
When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
The oxidation number of halogens is?
Most common is -1. But halogens (except fluorine) are known to exhibit oxidation numbers upto +7 in their compounds.
What two families of elements react easily with each other to form compounds?
Alkali metals and halogens.
What is the common oxidation number for all halogens?
Minus one, in their most common compounds.
What elements are in ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.
Most halogens form compounds by a. gaining an electron to form a negative ion. b. losing an electron to form a positive ion. c. losing protons. d. joining with both calcium and carbon.?
A: Gaining an electron
