Metal halides
Metal halides are compounds between metals and halogens. Some, such as sodium chloride are ionic, while others are covalently bonded. A few metal halides are discrete molecules, such as uranium hexafluoride, but most adopt polymeric structures, such as palladium chloride.
- Sodium chloride crystal structure
- Discrete UF6 molecules
- Infinite chains of one form of palladium chloride
