1. Chloride

   The term chloride refers either to a chloride ion (Cl−), which is negatively charged chlorine atom, or a non-charged chlorine atom covalently bonded to the rest of the molecule by a single bond (−Cl). Many inorganic chlorides are salts. Many organic compounds are chlorides. The pronunciation of the word "chloride" is .The chloride ion is an anion (negatively charged ion) with the charge Cl-. Chloride salts such as sodium chloride are often soluble in water. It is an essential electrolyte located in all body fluids responsible for maintaining acid/base balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating liquid flow in and out of cells. Other examples of ionic chlorides are calcium chloride CaCl2 and ammonium chloride [NH4]Cl. The chloride is also a neutral chlorine atom covalently bonded by a single bond to the rest of the molecule. For example, methyl chloride CH3Cl is an organic compound with a covalent C−Cl bond in which the chlorine is not an anion. Other examples of covalent chlorides are carbon tetrachloride CCl4, sulfuryl chloride SO2Cl2 and monochloramine NH2Cl.

1. chloride

   Chloride is an ion that carries a negative charge (anion) and is formed when the element chlorine gains an electron. It is one of the most abundant ions in sea water and plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's pH, fluid balance and is important for the function of the nervous system. In chemistry, it is often referred to as a halide. Chloride can also refer to any compound, such as sodium chloride or hydrochloric acid, which contains this ion.

1. Chloride

   The chloride ion is formed when the element chlorine, a halogen, gains an electron to form an anion Cl−. The salts of hydrochloric acid contain chloride ions and can also be called chlorides. The chloride ion, and its salts such as sodium chloride, are very soluble in water. It is an essential electrolyte located in all body fluids responsible for maintaining acid/base balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating fluid in and out of cells. The word chloridism can also form part of the name of chemical compounds in which one or more chlorine atoms are covalently bonded. For example, methyl chloride, more commonly called chloromethane, is an organic covalently bonded compound, which does not contain a chloride ion.
