Halogeeniioone
Halogeeniioone refers to negatively charged ions formed from halogen elements. Halogens are elements in Group 17 of the periodic table, including fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). These elements are characterized by having seven valence electrons, meaning they are just one electron away from achieving a stable electron configuration like that of noble gases.
To attain this stability, halogens readily gain one electron, forming a halide ion. For example, a fluorine
Halide ions are common in various chemical compounds and biological systems. For instance, sodium chloride (NaCl),
