Some of the definitions at dictionary.com say that a binary compound can be an element plus a radical that behaves as a an element. (See the link above for exact wording).
Can someone determine if this is normal usage? (Let wiktionary know if it isn't so the definitions there can be fixed). RJFJR 21:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Combine?
Binary_ionic_compound contains the same information under Ionic Compounds. Should they be combined? Bcafs7 00:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I think that this page should be removed, and placed in with the one on Binary Ionic Compounds... The original Demonlak 03:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Complete Fixing?
This article might be better named "Naming Binary Compounds" and is in serious need of cleaning. Astrangequark 05:24, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clearer Wording Needed?
"There are only 10 existing non-metals that can be involved in binary acids when combined with hydrogen: chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine, and sulfur."
Maybe I don't know that much about chemistry, but the elements listed there certainly do not add up to "10". Did the author mean "5", or am I missing something? Crazy coyote (talk) 20:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
