Most chlorides are salts that are formed either by direct union of chlorine with a metal or by reaction of hydrochloric acid (a water solution of hydrogen chloride) with a metal, a metal oxide, or an inorganic base.
Most chloride salts are readily soluble in water, but mercurous chloride (calomel) and silver chloride are insoluble, and lead chloride is only slightly soluble.
Most metal chlorides conduct electricity when fused or dissolved in water and can be decomposed by electrolysis to chlorine gas and the metal.

METHYLENE CHLORIDE Explanation The available biological data relating to both animal and human exposure to dichloromethane were evaluated by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives in 1970.
However, the available data indicate that the metabolism and excretion pattern of methylene chloride are similar regardless of route of administration.
In animals and man the majority of the dose is excreted unchanged in the expired air, a small percentage being converted to carbon monoxide which then binds with haemoglobin and results in an elevated COHb concentration in the blood.

Methyl Bromide - CH Br, this halocarbon is released, to a degree, naturally from the oceans, but is more commonly released from its anthropogenic use as a soil fumigant or pesticide.
Methyl bromide is persistent enough to reach the stratosphere where it photochemically decomposes to yield atomic bromine (radical) and proceeds to destroy stratospheric ozone in the same manner as the atomic chlorine radical.
Methyl Chloride - CH Cl, this compound supplies chlorine to the stratosphere by occasional volcanic eruptions and by tropospheric to stratospheric transport.
