Reactive Group Datasheet

Halogenating Agents, Strong

What are reactive groups?

Reactive groups are categories of chemicals that typically react in similar ways because they are similar in their chemical structure. Each substance with a chemical datasheet has been assigned to one or more reactive groups, and CAMEO Chemicals uses the reactive group assignments to make its reactivity predictions. More Info...

If you can't find a chemical in the database--but you know what reactive group it belongs in--you can add the reactive group to MyChemicals instead in order to see the reactivity predictions.

There are 40 chemical datasheets assigned to this reactive group.

Description

Flammability
These compounds are technically nonflammable, but are combustible. They can support the combustion of other materials.
Reactivity
Strong halogenating agents force the addition of one or more halogen atoms to the compound with which they are reacting. Fluorinating agents can react violently with halide salts. Many of these compounds are water-reactive and air-reactive.
Toxicity
Generally toxic.
Examples
Antimony pentafluoride, molybdenum pentachloride, nitrogen fluoride oxide, antimony pentachloride, tungsten hexafluoride, tellurium hexafluoride, sulfur tetrafluoride, sulfur monochloride, silicon tetrafluoride, phosphorus pentafluoride.
