The word chloride can also refer to a Chemical Compound in which one or more chlorine Atom s are Covalently Bonded in the Molecule . This means that chlorides can be either Inorganic or Organic Compound s. The simplest example of an inorganic covalently-bonded chloride is Hydrogen Chloride , HCl. A simple example of an organic covalently-bonded chloride is Chloromethane (CH3Cl), often called methyl chloride. Other examples of inorganic covalently-bonded chlorides that are used as Reactant s are:
Chloride ions have important Physiological roles. For instance, in the Central Nervous System , the inhibitory action of Glycine and some of the action of GABA relies on the entry of Cl− into specific neurons. Also, the Chloride-bicarbonate Exchanger biological transport Protein relies on the chloride ion to increase the Blood 's capacity of Carbon Dioxide , in the form of the Bicarbonate ion. Chloride is found in many household liquids like Water and other beverages. |
