Hydrohalides are compounds formed when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a halogen atom. Common hydrohalides include hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrobromic acid. These substances are used in a variety of industrial processes, including the production of plastics, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Synonyms for hydrohalides include halogen acids, halide water, and halide hydrides. They are generally strong acids and are highly corrosive to metals. Hydrohalides are widely used for their acid properties and are an important class of compounds in the field of chemical synthesis. The term "halohydric acid" is also sometimes used as a synonym for hydrohalide.
