Polyhaline
Polyhaline refers to the condition of having multiple halogens in a compound. Halogens are a group of nonmetal elements found in Group 17 of the periodic table, including fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). Polyhaline compounds are those that contain more than one halogen atom.
The term "polyhaline" is often used in the context of organic chemistry, where halogens can be substituted
Polyhaline compounds can also be found in inorganic chemistry. For instance, interhalogen compounds, such as chlorine
The study of polyhaline compounds is important in fields such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science.
