Alkali halide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The alkali halides are the family of ionic compounds with simple chemical formula X+Y- or XY, where X is an alkali metal and Y is a halogen. One of the most well known of these is sodium chloride or common table salt.
In standard room conditions dry alkali halides tend to exist as white or translucent crystalline solids. The internal crystalline structure is centered cubic, usually face centered cubic.
