Interhalogen

An interhalogen is a chemical compound. It is made by two halogens reacting with each other. Normally interhalogens are quite toxic and reactive. An example would be chlorine trifluoride or bromine monochloride.

Uses

Interhalogens are strong oxidizers. They are also used to add halogen atoms to other molecules (halogenation).
