Notes and references
Notes
- ↑ Although oxygen is more electronegative than chlorine on the normal numerical scales,[1] it appears after the halogens on the conventional electronegativity series used in inorganic nomenclature.[2] Hence, OCl2 is considered a chloride of oxygen, and not an oxide of chlorine, for nomenclature purposes.
